Archaea in Space 

Studies of archaea enzymes conducted on the Space Shuttle could help explain how these organisms survive at extreme temperatures and pressures and could have far-ranging implications for everything from exobiology to biotechnology. 

Assessing Extraterrestrial Biomass 

While the basic geological conditions on Mars could provide the minimal requirements for life to exist, new geochemical models suggest the biological potential of the red planet may be minimal. Chances of life on the Jovian moon Europa are even slimmer. 

Cosmic Ancestry  

This site examines the possibility of life on earth arising from life in space. Articles include bacteria on earth originating from space, how does life evolve, testing for cosmic ancestry.

Exobiology Home Page 

Exobiology is the study of the origin of life on this or other planets. This site provides a comprehensive list of sites that cover: Chemical origins of life, RNA worlds, and the search for life on Mars.
