Basics in Astrobiology: Introduction Muriel Gargaud Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux, France Theresa Lüftinger and Manuel Güdel, University of Vienna

Origins, evolution, distribution and future of life in the Universe Astrobiology : Origins, evolution, distribution and future of life in the Universe More precisely it includes the study of : The processes and conditions which have allowed the emergence of life on Earth and have (?) or could have allowed it elsewhere in the universe The formation and evolution of organic matter in the Universe The evolution and distribution of life, as we know it on Earth, and as it could be elsewhere….

Transdisciplinary approach needed Geo- and Biochemistry Chemistry Biology & evolution of Origin Life From abiotic to biotic Interstellar chemistry Astronomy Atmos- pheric chemistry Biomolecule precursor origin Chemical traces of Early Life Biomarkers: Definition and Detection Habitable planets Missions Rover Early Earth Planetary Sciences Geology Space Technology Philosophical approach to the definition of life History of ideas on the origin and evolution of life Ethical and societal questions regarding space missions

Some historical reminders…

The first steps of prebiotic chemistry and exobiology/astrobiology Electrode Condenser Sample H2O Condensate rich in organic compounds The experiment of Miller First experience of prebiotic chemistry , 1953 1960’s: 1) Development of radioastronomy - detection of complex molecules - beginning of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) 2) NASA Apollo program: - Moon exploration - samples return ==> introduction of the word « exobiology » : science interested by extra terrestrial life

Astrobiology and missions to Mars, Titan and Comet Chury 1971-1972: Mariner 9, first global map of Mars 1976 : Viking Orbiters Cartography of Mars surface + study of atmosphere + experiment of biological activity measurement ===> introduction of term « bioastronomy » (C51 UAI) 1996: Mars Global Surveyor (complete cartography of surface) Mars Pathfinder (1st rover on Mars) ===> introduction of term « astrobiology » 2003…: Mars Express Mars Exploration Rovers(search for water in the past?) 2004 // 2014-2016: Rosetta/Philae Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko 1997 // 2004-2017: Cassini-Huygens Saturn orbit + Titan atmosphere 2012-…: Mars Science Laboratory 2016 // 2020…: Exomars Astrobiology and missions to Mars, Titan and Comet Chury (See Jorge Vago lecture!)

Astrobiology all around the world…

NASA Astrobiology Institute (1998) EANA: European Astrobiology Network Association (1998) (19 europeans countries most of them have their own national society) Japan ELSI: Earth Life Science Institute (2012) J-ABC: Japan AstroBiology Center (2015) Europe - AbgradE: (2014…) – European Early Career Astrobiologist network - COST Action Origins (2014-2017): 30 europeans countries + US/Canada/South Africa/Australia - European Astrobiology Campus (2014-2017) - European Astrobiology Institute (to be launched in 2019)
