空间实验是天体生物学和天体化学研究中技术上具有挑战性但在科学上十分重要的一部分。国际空间站（ISS）是一个非常成功和持久的空间实验研究平台的典范，在过去二十年中提供了丰富的科学数据。然而，未来的空间平台提供了进行实验的新机会，有可能解决天体生物学和天体化学的关键问题。从这个角度来看，欧洲航天局（ESA）天体生物学和天体化学专题小组（结合更广泛科学界的反馈）确定了一些关键主题，并总结了2021年“ESA SciSpacE科学界天体生物学和天体化学白色论文”。我们强调了关于制定和实施未来实验的建议，讨论了现场测量的类型、实验参数、暴露情景和轨道，并确定了知识差距以及如何推进对目前正在开发或处于高级规划阶段的未来空间暴露平台的科学利用。除了国际空间站，这些平台还包括CubeSats和SmallSats，以及更大的平台，如月球轨道网关。我们还展望了在月球和火星上进行原位实验的前景，并欢迎支持在太阳系内外寻找系外行星和潜在生物特征的新可能性。
Space experiments are a technically challenging but a scientifically important part of astrobiology and astrochemistry research. The International Space Station (ISS) is an excellent example of a highly successful and long-lasting research platform for experiments in space, that has provided a wealth of scientific data over the last two decades. However, future space platforms present new opportunities to conduct experiments with the potential to address key topics in astrobiology and astrochemistry. In this perspective, the European Space Agency (ESA) Topical Team Astrobiology and Astrochemistry (with feedback from the wider scientific community) identifies a number of key topics and summarizes the 2021 “ESA SciSpacE Science Community White Paper” for astrobiology and astrochemistry. We highlight recommendations for the development and implementation of future experiments, discuss types of in situ measurements, experimental parameters, exposure scenarios and orbits, and identify knowledge gaps and how to advance scientific utilization of future space-exposure platforms that are either currently under development or in an advanced planning stage. In addition to the ISS, these platforms include CubeSats and SmallSats, as well as larger platforms such as the Lunar Orbital Gateway. We also provide an outlook for in situ experiments on the Moon and Mars, and welcome new possibilities to support the search for exoplanets and potential biosignatures within and beyond our solar system.
