NASA's next Mars rover, scheduled for launch in 2020, will search for evidence of past Martian life, not extant life.
Scientists involved with the project argue technology is not yet advanced enough to allow a reasonable search for current life. The better bet, they say, is to search for fossils in rocks, since we know Mars was once much more hospitable to life than it is today.
