A History of Astrobiology. Not long after NASA was established in 1958, the agency began a broad-based effort to learn how to look for the presence – both ancient and current – of life beyond Earth.
What is the purpose of astrobiology?
Astrobiology, formerly known as exobiology, is an interdisciplinary scientific field that studies the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. Astrobiology considers the question of whether extraterrestrial life exists, and if it does, how humans can detect it.
When did astrobiology become a science?
To meet these goals, NASA created two new initiatives for the astrobiology program: the Astrobiology Science, Technology and Instrument Development program (ASTID), in 1998; and the Astrobiology Science, Technology for Exploring Planets (ASTEP) program, in 2001.
