The question of if terrestrial life is alone in the universe is a philosophical and scientific question that has captivated humanity since ancient times. This thesis approaches its science and technical questions from the idea that life is composed of, and generates, organic matter. This thesis focuses on the search for organic matter on the surface of Mars by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) onboard the Viking Lander, the future ExoMars Mars Organic Molecule Analyser (MOMA) experiment, and with applications to the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) experiment onboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). In this thesis, the Viking GC-MS data sets have been reexamined and evidence is presented for the presence of chlorobenzene, a potent...
