| Description: | This science strategy identifies questions to guide and inspire astrobiology research on each of these topics—in the lab, in the field, and in experiments flown on planetary science missions—over the next decade. The strategy also identifies major ongoing challenges that astrobiologists tackle as they attempt to answer these universal questions. Progress and accomplishments in each of these areas of research over the past ten years are detailed in each of the successive chapters of this document |
