Exobiology in Earth orbit [PDF]

open access: bronzeOrigins of life and evolution of the biosphere, 1996
The primary goal of exobiological research is to reach a better understanding of the processes leading to the origin, evolution and distribution of life on Earth or elsewhere in the universe. In this endeavor, scientists from a wide variety of disciplines are involved, such as astronomy, planetary research, organic chemistry, paleontology and the ...

Exobiology and Planetary Protection of icy moons

Space Science Reviews, 2010
The outer solar system is an important area of investigation for exobiology, the study of life in the universe. Several moons of the outer planets involve processes and structures comparable to those thought to have played an important role in the emergence of life on Earth, such as the formation and exchange of organic materials between different ...

Optical Activity for Exobiology and the Exploration of Mars

open access: closedApplied Optics, 1969
The crucial role of a sterically specified informational macromolecule argues for optical activity as an assay for the presence of biogeny on a planet. Recent developments in the measurement of optical activity and their relevance to exobiology are discussed.

The Outer Solar System: Perspectives for Exobiology

open access: closedOrigins of Life, 1974
The outer solar system contains many environments of interest for studies of the origin of life. Recent observations support the idea that Jupiter and Saturn have retained the mixture of elements originally present in the solar nebula. Subsequent low temperature chemistry has produced the expected array of simple molecules giving characteristic ...

Exobiology and the Exploration of Mars–2

open access: closedApplied Optics, 1969
Our limited understanding of the Martian environment has stimulated much speculation on the possible existence of a. Martin biota. This understanding is being steadily improved by ground-based observing techniques. Rapid advances have been made by the Mariner IV flyby and will be made by the Mariner 1969 flybys and the Mariner 1971 orbiters.

Exobiology: Approaches to Life beyond the Earth

open access: closedScience, 1960
It is a privilege to discuss some basic problems in biology with an audience whose special concern is for the recent striking advances in the physics of the earth in the solar system. However, many of us are looking forward to the close investigation of the planets, and few inquisitive minds can fail to be intrigued by what these studies will tell of ...
