摘要
Key questions of astrobiology can be addressed by several space missions from the ESA Science Horizons 2000 Programme, such as: How do solar and stellar systems form? (with ISO, FIRST/Herschel, SMART-1, Rosetta, Colombo, Gaia) Geological evolution of terrestrial planets (with Living planet, Mars-Express, SMART-1, Bepi-Colombo, to Mercury) Interstellar Complex organic chemistry (with ISO, ISS/EXPOSE, FIRST/Herschel, Rosetta) Co-evolution of Earth-Moon, impacts life frustration (with SMART-1, Bepi-Colombo) How to detect other solar systems and habitable zones (with space photometry, COROT, Eddington, Gaia, IRSI-Darwin) Early Earth and alternative environments (Huygens/Cassini and Mars-express) Signature of biosphere, global biomarkers and photosynthesis evolution (living Planet missions, Darwin) Water and exobiology on Mars (with orbiter instruments and Beagle-2 lander on Mars Express) Study of biomarkers and delivery of organics (with Mars-Express and future missions) We shall review the Astrobiology potential from these ESA missions.
