The Scientist 16[8]:24, Apr. 15, 2002 NEWS Update on Astrobiology Scientists gather at CONTACT conference to discuss 'biology elsewhere' E-mail article By A.J.S. Rayl Courtesy of NASA In Search of Life: The hunt for 'biology elsewhere' has gone as far as Mars (above) and to the depths of the Lechuguilla caves in New Mexico, where Penelope Boston (below) searches for extremophiles. Just three weeks before E.T. flew back into movie theaters to celebrate his 20th anniversary, a group of interdisciplinary scientists, science fiction authors, teachers, and others interested in the real quest for extraterrestrial life assembled in the Silicon Valley for the 19th annual CONTACT conference ( www.cabrillo.cc.ca.us/contact Baruch S. Blumberg Interdisciplinary by nature, the basic science of astrobiology, Blumberg notes, is collaborative and conducted by widely distributed investigators exploring different approaches with new technologies. Although "biology elsewhere" remains elusive, Blumberg, 1975 winner of the Nobel prize in medicine and member of The Scientist 's editorial advisory board, and the other presenters covered a good part of the recent findings and techniques now in use to carry out the search. The knowledge gained in the last decade and the sheer scope of the preparations and the effort currently in progress explain, in part, why the theory that life must be prevalent is gaining ground in many disciplines and why astrobiology has become suddenly, scientifically trendy.

Astrobiology Astrobiology seeks to understand the origin of the building blocks of life, how these biogenic compounds combine to create life, how life affects and is affected by the environment from which it arose, and finally, whether and how life expands beyond its planet of origin. Astrobiology seeks to provide a philosophical and programmatic underpinning whereby life's place in the universe can be explored - at levels of inter-related complexity ranging from molecular to galactic. Astrobiology Institute tackles basic questions of life February 5, 1999 - Scripps Howard News Service On April 20, 1967, the Surveyor 3 spacecraft landed on the moon, and arriving with it was a creature from Earth - Streptococcus mitis. When Surveyor 3 was being prepared for launch, somebody apparently coughed on it, and a colony of the common, harmless bacteria was established on a piece of foam insulation that covered one of Surveyor's circuit boards. The bacteria contamination was discovered in 1969 when Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean brought back a piece of Surveyor's insulation. The bacteria had been freeze-dried in space, but were quickly revived once back on Earth. So bacteria, the earliest and most common form of life on Earth, were also the first life form to travel to the moon. The Surveyor contamination accident revealed that bacteria could survive a launch, travel unprotected through the vacuum of space and survive three years on the moon's surface - a place of high radiation, temperatures near absolute zero, and no nutrients. Once dropped into a nutrient-rich petri dish back on Earth, the bacteria came out of "hibernation" and popped back to life. The lesson of the streptococcus space colony wasn't lost on NASA. It showed that life could survive in very harsh environments, even extraterrestrial ones.

List of Events ESTEC Home Page ESA Home Page Web Master Preliminary Programme First European Workshop on Exo/Astrobiology 21-23 May 2001 ESRIN, Frascati (near Rome), Italy Background and Purpose The multidisciplinary area of Exo/Astrobiology has recently experienced a tremendous surge of interest within the wide scientific community involving both space and non-space disciplines. This includes such diverse fields as the chemical origin of life on Earth, the persistence of life in extreme conditions, interplanetary transport mechanisms and search for life strategies in the Solar System and beyond. The European Exobiology Network is an association of European scientists active in this field and dedicated to bringing together and strengthening European scientific and intellectual resources to ensure a leading role for Europe in this field. Since the 1980's the ESA microgravity life sciences activities have involved exobiology research concentrated on the effects of low Earth space conditions such as solar and cosmic radiation and low gravity on organic and life forms. The programme intends to extend these activities to search for life strategies in the Solar System. Recently the activities of the ESA Space Science programme have been extended to include exo/astrobiology as a cross-fertilised discipline which can benefit from a number of ESA missions such as Huygens-Cassini, Mars Express, Rosetta, Eddington and IRSI-Darwin.

Agenda Lecturers Poster Presentations Hotel/ Travel ... Home The objective of "Perspectives in Astrobiology" was to provide a systematic, in-depth, treatment of the new and rapidly developing field of Astrobiology by distinguished lecturers. This Advanced Study Institute considered the paleoemergence of life on Earth and Mars and the relevance of microbial extremophiles from the deep subsurface and hydrothermal vents and ancient viable microorganisms from deep ice in the polar caps and permafrost to planetary habitats and Astrobiology. Morphological, biogeochemical and stable isotope biomarkers and methodologies important for the recognition of biogenicity in ancient terrestrial rocks, meteorites, astromaterials and samples from space missions to other solar system bodies were developed. Astrobiology is a newly emerging multidisciplinary field triggered by paradigm shifts resulting from discoveries regarding microbial extremophiles and evidence for possible microfossils in the Mars meteorite. Astrobiology addresses fundamental questions of interest to all mankind: "Is life unique to Earth-or is it a Cosmic Imperative?" "What are the physical, temporal, and environmental limitations of life on Earth?" "What is the origin, distribution, evolution, and destiny of life in the Universe?"

MARSDAILY Methane on Mars illustration only by Astrobiology Magazine Moffett Field - Mar 31, 2004 Considered suggestive of life, an atmosphere of methane on another planet is considered one of the four best candidates for detecting habitable conditions using remote sensing and telescope spectrographs. While methane can be made both by biological and non-biological processes, it is also degraded by non-biological means, so a high concentration often is interpreted as requiring a source to replenish it. If metabolism is that source, then some of the prerequisites for a steady-state ecosystem may be in play. On Earth there are four gases linked to the presence of life and habitable conditions: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and molecular oxygen (O2, or its proxy, ozone O3). Water is essential to all biology we understand today, while the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen constitute the collective respirator for photosynthesis and breathable worlds. The dominant gas on Mars today is by far carbon dioxide. With methane, there are some methanogenic organisms that require consumption of this gas for their subsistence. Methanogenesis converts carbon dioxide to methane.

EXO LIFE the marbles of mars Click for complete report in print friendly HTML. 6900 Words Mars Rover Science Featured At Astrobiology Conference by Bruce Moomaw for SpaceDaily.com Mountain View CA - Apr 22, 2004 The third of NASA's Astrobiology Science Conferences held every two years at Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California has just ended. Every one of these has drawn a considerably bigger crowd of scientists than the previous one. This might seem peculiar for what one scientist has described as "the most lively scientific field not to have any actual subject material yet". But another, at the Conference, noted that a sizable number of graduate students are attending these conferences AGAINST the advice of their advisors, thereby proving that the field has genuine emotional drawing power and an ability to ignite people's interest which may allow it to endure for a very long period of time until the first evidence of alien life finally does turn up. Whereas the first conference in 2000 consisted entirely of sequential talks in a single multi-day session held in an auditorium, the number of speakers has now increased to the point that several hours of each day was devoted to six sessions of talks held simultaneously with each other, making it impossible for this poor reporter to make it to a lot of the talks he would have liked to attend. The majority of them including all the single-session talks in the mornings and evenings were held in a literal Big Tent: an enormous plastic affair whose sides snapped and cracked in the Bay Area's winds like the sails of a three-master, leading to many an apprehensive upward glance on the part of the audience. But everything held together for the duration, and so I'm here to give a rundown on some of the conference's more interesting talks.

PHY 580 - ASTROBIOLOGY FOR TEACHERS COURSE OVERVIEW Course Description: Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the universe. It uses interdisciplinary science at the intersection of biology, geology and physics to discover where and under what conditions life can arise and exist in the universe. The two main goals of this course are: To provide information on the central concepts related to the field of Astrobiology, and To provide experiences with using and creating student-centered and inquiry-based curriculum materials for teaching astrobiology that are aligned with the National Science Education Standards. NASA Astrobiology Roadmap The NASA Astrobiology Roadmap is the product of the efforts of more than 150 scientists and technologists, spanning a broad range of disciplines. Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. It provides a biological perspective to many areas of NASA research, linking such endeavors as the search for habitable planets, exploration missions to Mars and Europa, efforts to understand the origin of life, and planning for the future of life beyond Earth. Astrobiology addresses three basic questions, which have been asked in some form for generations. Astrobiology is exciting today because we have the technology to begin to answer these fundamental questions:
