Goddard Front Door Connection
NASA Goddard supplies highly amorphous Mg-silicate, Fe-silicate and Fe-Mg silicate smokes: highly amorphous Fe-Aluminate, Mg-Aluminate and SiO-Aluminate smokes, as well as graphitic and carbonaceous coated Fe-silicate smokes for laboratory experiments requiring freshly condensed analogs of circumstellar or presolar dust.
An interdisciplinary research group that develops innovative detection tools and techniques for identifying living systems. Our approach focuses on fundamental characteristics rather than relying on biochemical analogy.
Identifies organic materials like amino acids from meteorites, extraterrestrial analogs, and sample return missions.
Studies the spectra, chemistry, and physical properties of ices
Identifies organic materials like amino acids from meteorites, extraterrestrial analogs, and sample return missions.
The Sublimation Laboratory Ice Millimeter/submillimeter Experiment (SubLIME) is a laboratory technique that identifies gases released from ice samples by analyzing their spectroscopic signatures, particularly for ices found in space and comets.
