    Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary field that studies the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe. It seeks to understand how life begins and evolves on other planets and moons. Astrobiology also examines the possibility of life existing elsewhere based on different biological and environmental conditions than those found on Earth. One application of astrobiology is estimating the amount of carbon dioxide available on Mars that could be mobilized to terraform the planet and make it habitable for terrestrial life.

    What is Astrobiology? 3
    4

    Astrobiology (exobiology or xenobiology) is a multidisciplinary field dealing with the


    origin, evolution, nature, existence, and search for extraterrestrial life including future of
    life in the universe (life beyond Earth). Astrobiology encompasses areas of biology,
    astronomy, and geology.
    5
    Goals and benefits of Astrobiology
    Astrobiology seeks to answer fundamental scientific questions about life: how it
    begins and evolves; what biological, planetary, and cosmic conditions must exist in
    order for it to take hold; and whether there is/was/can/be life elsewhere in the
    galaxy.
    Future Prospect of Astrobiology
    6

    1. Searching the steps that led inanimate 1. The possibility of learning from
    materials – rocks, sediments, organic chemicals and minerals on the surface
    compounds, water – to come together of planets whether microbes might live
    and build living organisms, with there, including beneath the planet’s
    replicating genes, cell walls, and the surface
    ability to reproduce
    2. The likelihood of life existing elsewhere
    2. Discovering how proliferation led to based on elements other than carbon
    new life forms on Earth and a system different than DNA, and
    3. Understanding the arrival of water and whether such life even exist here on
    essential organic compounds on planets Earth, but still undetected
    and moons, and how they interact with
    the planets and moons they land on
    Example of Astrobiology 7

    Inventory of CO₂ available for terraforming Mars


    The ideas:
     Changing Mars’ environment to be more earth like that would allow terrestrial life
    (possibly including humans) to survive without the need for life-support systems.
     Mobilizing gases present on Mars today in non-atmospheric reservoirs by emplacing
    them into the atmosphere, and increasing the pressure and temperature so that plants
    or humans could survive at the surface.
