Abstract

Abstract

The search for extraterrestrial habitable environments and signs of life is one of the major scientific objectives of deep space exploration. As a disciplinary regime that studies the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life associated with the evolution of planetary systems, astrobiology systematically enlists practices across multiple disciplines, such as earth science, life science, space science, astronomy, and chemistry. In recent decades, the research of astrobiology has been progressively extended as the understanding of other celestial bodies is improved. Here we review the research content and development of astrobiology, discuss relevant opportunities and challenges in China, and provide prospects for the future.
