As astrobiology becomes more developed as a field, it’s vital that we understand all the tools available for astrobiology research. This white paper aims to present the current methods available, their uses, and their prevalence, as well as discuss the cutting-edge of astrobiology technologies. Astrobiology techniques can largely be broken into two categories: remote sensing and in-situ. Remote sensing studies other planets from afar, using satellites, telescopes, etc. Applications to astrobiology include measuring the chemistry of atmospheres, physical characteristics of planets, and searching for the presence of water. In-situ observations are the exact opposite and are taken directly from and at the location in question. In the case of astronomy/astrobiology, this is almost exclusively done with rovers such as Curiosity and Perseverance. NASA has numerous in-situ and remote sensing projects, such as Perseverance and the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope. This project will present the most relevant of these projects to astrobiology and discuss how remote sensing and in-situ work can form a complete picture of the search for life outside of Earth. We will also provide a cost-benefit analysis of these techniques and discuss what new technologies and methods are being developed for astrobiology research.
