Of primary concern for this project is the study of the origin of life in the Universe, a focus that will promote investigation into prebiotic chemistry in various possible scenarios, whether in polar or nonpolar solvents (e.g., Titan’s environment).

Abstract
The ‘‘Life in Space’’ project was funded in the wake of the Italian Space Agency’s proposal for the development of a network of institutions and laboratories conceived to implement Italian participation in space astrobiology experiments. Of primary concern for this project is the study of the origin of life in the Universe, a focus that will promote investigation into prebiotic chemistry in various possible scenarios, whether in polar or nonpolar solvents (e.g., Titan’s environment). Such results will link with study of the effects of simulated space conditions on possible chemical biosignatures.File in questo prodotto:
