The Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory is dedicated to the study of organic compounds derived from Stardust and future sample return missions, meteorites, lab simulations of Mars, interstellar, proto-planetary, and cometary ices and grains, and instrument development.
Our research group specializes in studying the spectra, the chemistry, and the physical properties of ices relevant to comets, icy satellites and planets, and the coatings of dust grains in the interstellar medium.
Our research group is part of the Astrochemistry Laboratory in the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. We specialize in studies of grains and grain analogues of relevance to planets, comets, the interstellar medium, and other extraterrestrial environments.
OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security--Regolith Explorer) will launch in 2016. It will travel to a near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid (101955) 1999 RQ36, study it in detail and bring back a sample (at least 60 grams or 2.1 ounces) to Earth in 2023. This sample will help us investigate planet formation and the origin of life, and the data collected at the asteroid will also aid our understanding of asteroids that can impact Earth (RQ36 is a potentially hazardous object with a 1-in-1,800 chance of impacting Earth in the year 2182). OSIRIS-REx is lead by PI Dante Lauretta of the University of Arizona and managed by GSFC.
The Theory and Observation Group is part of the Astrochemistry Laboratory in the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. We specialize in developing theoretical models for the formation and destruction of molecules in comets, the interstellar medium, and other extraterrestrial environments. We also are active in using radio telescopes to study the chemistry of these same regions of the galaxy.
Our research group is part of the Astrochemistry Laboratory in the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. We specialize in the design, construction, testing, and application of new detection systems for high-energy particles.
