International Astrobiology-Related Missions with NASA involvement
When humankind began to explore beyond Earth's atmosphere, our understanding of life on Earth and the potential for life beyond our planet changed forever. Missions gathered data on locations far and wide - from the planets of our solar system to exoplanets around distant stars. Data from missions helped shape knowledge of habitability, helping astrobiologists determine and identify the conditions necessary for life as we know it. Other data taught us about how planets form and become habitable for life. Some missions were even designed with specific astrobiology goals and to directly address NASA's search for life in the universe.
