To understand the range of life and the conditions necessary for its existence on Earth and elsewhere, it is essential to study life forms on this planet which thrive in extreme environments which are also similar to those found on other celestial bodies in the solar system. This is a comparative literature-based study which presents an investigation into the approximate compatibility of two Martian habitats, with Planococcus halocryophilus and Methanothermobacter wolfeii as Martian analog organisms. The analysis was comprised of datamodeling performed in Python, with values and environmental parametersaccumulated through literary review. Further, the literary synthesis and results of the data analysis have shown the potential and extraordinary adaptations of life forms on Earth, and demonstrated great overlap within the Martian habitats and the polyextremophiles. This may indicate a potential for extinct life forms in Martian surface and subsurface conditions where liquid water was present Further research on the combined effect of elevated environmental factors is needed to explore the possibility of life elsewhere in our solar system.
