Our Broad Branch Road Spring Neighborhood Lecture Series continues with GL's own Dr. Andrew Steele. Steele will present, "Mars, Moons, Missions & Microbes: Life as We Don't Know It - How Do We Find It?."
The main focus behind Steele’s research has been the development of scientific and measurement criteria for the unambiguous detection of life in early Earth and Mars samples, and future robotic and sample return missions to Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Steele’s talk will explain how this research has evolved into a three-pronged approach of laboratory investigations using a diverse range of techniques and samples coupled with development and testing of instrumentation for future Mars missions and the characterization of data from space flight missions to Earth orbit, Mars, and comets.
