HEARING CHARTER
Astrobiology: The Search for Biosignatures in our Solar System and Beyond
Wednesday, December 4, 2013 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
2318 Rayburn House Office Building
The purpose of this hearing is to examine astrobiology research and the search for biosignatures
in our Solar System and beyond. The hearing will include a general assessment of the multi- and
interdisciplinary nature of astrobiology research, including the role astrobiology plays in
formulating NASA space missions. It will also examine the techniques and capabilities
necessary to determine the potential for the existence of biosignatures within our Solar System.
With the discovery of potential Earth-like planets outside of our Solar System, the hearing will
also investigate what methods are being used to determine if any of these planets may harbor
life. The hearing will explore existing and planned astrobiology research strategies and
roadmaps.
