The Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) in Spain is an internationally recognized institution dedicated to advancing research in astrobiology through a comprehensive transdisciplinary approach. Founded in 1999 and integrated into NASA’s Astrobiology Institute in 2000, CAB has become a key player in exploring the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the Universe. This chapter presents an in-depth overview of CAB’s scientific structure, research departments, and major achievements, ranging from studies in astrophysics, molecular evolution, and planetary habitability to the development of advanced space instrumentation. Emphasis is placed on CAB’s leadership in Mars exploration missions (e.g., REMS, TWINS, MEDA, RLS), its robust experimental infrastructure, and its extensive public outreach and education programs. CAB’s model illustrates how multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration can effectively advance the frontiers of astrobiology and contribute to international space science missions and planetary exploration.

摘要

The Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) in Spain is an internationally recognized institution dedicated to advancing research in astrobiology through a comprehensive transdisciplinary approach. Founded in 1999 and integrated into NASA’s Astrobiology Institute in 2000, CAB has become a key player in exploring the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the Universe. This chapter presents an in-depth overview of CAB’s scientific structure, research departments, and major achievements, ranging from studies in astrophysics, molecular evolution, and planetary habitability to the development of advanced space instrumentation. Emphasis is placed on CAB’s leadership in Mars exploration missions (e.g., REMS, TWINS, MEDA, RLS), its robust experimental infrastructure, and its extensive public outreach and education programs. CAB’s model illustrates how multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration can effectively advance the frontiers of astrobiology and contribute to international space science missions and planetary exploration.
