Organized by Astrobiology Roadmap Objective
- Objective 1: Determine whether the atmosphere of the early Earth, hydrothermal or exogenous matter were significant sources of organic matter. (Found: 1)
- Objective 12: Define climatological and geological effects upon the limits of habitable zones around the Sun and other stars to help define the frequency of habitable planets in the universe. (Found: 2)
- Objective 16: Understand the human-directed processes by which life can migrate from one world to another. (Found: 1)
- Objective 17: Refine planetary protection guidelines and develop protection technology for human and robotic missions. (Found: 1)
- Objective 2: Develop and test plausible pathways by which ancient counterparts of membrane systems, proteins and nucleic acid were synthesized from simpler precursors and assembled into protocells. (Found: 1)
- Objective 3: Replicating, catalytic systems capable of evolution, and construct laboratory models of metabolism in primitive living systems. (Found: 2)
- Objective 4: Expand and interpret the genomic database of a select group of key microorganisms in order to reveal the history and dynamics of evolution. (Found: 1)
- Objective 5: Describe the sequences of causes and effects associated with the development of Earth's early biosphere and the global environment. (Found: 1)
- Objective 6: Define how ecophysiological processes structure microbial communities, influence their adaptation and evolution, and affect their detection on other planets. (Found: 1)
- Objective 7: Identify the environmental limits for by examining biological adaptations to extremes in environmental conditions. (Found: 2)
- Objective 8: Search for evidence of ancient climates, extinct life and potential habitats for extant life on Mars. (Found: 2)
- Objective 9: Determine the presence of life's chemical precursors and potential habitats for life in the outer solar system. (Found: 1)
