This outgrowth of flight instrument development from astrobiology program support follows in the footsteps of two instruments on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), scheduled for launch in 2009. Both CheMin, the Chemistry & Mineralogy X-Ray Diffraction/X-Ray Fluorescence Instrument, and SAM, the Sample Analysis at Mars Instrument Suite with Gas Chromatograph, Mass Spectrometer, and Tunable Laser Spectrometer, had ASTID program support before they were successfully proposed for flight on MSL.
