Astrobiology
RESEARCHBiosignatures, habitability limits, and pioneer-organism research.
Collaborators: TBC
// OVERVIEW
Astrobiology studies the limits and signatures of life — biosignatures, habitability boundaries, and the pioneer organisms a biosphere phase would one day use.
It is research-horizon and tightly coupled to planetary protection.
// FOCUS
01
Biosignatures
What life leaves that a sensor can read.
02
Habitability
The physical and chemical limits of life.
03
Pioneers
Extremophiles for closed-loop ecology research.
// APPLIED IN
Sequencing the long arc.
The research that turns horizons into roadmaps.
