Universe Sciences

The objective of the Universe Exploration Program is to improve knowledge and understanding of: the Universe origin and evolution, the objects which make up the Universe (cluster of galaxies, galaxies, Sun, stars, planets, asteroids, comets, interstellar clouds, etc.),the Life emergence and propagation.

Objectives

The program is structured around the following questions:

  •     Did life appear somewhere else in the Universe? In which conditions, on which types of planets, around which stars?
  •     Did life appear in the solar system somewhere else other than on Earth? What is the global function of the solar system?
  •     How did it form, how will it evolve?
  •     How did the Universe form, how did it evolve in different galaxies or stars? Qhat will be happen to the Universe?
  •     What will be the new physics that we will need to model and describe this very young Universe and its most violent phenomena?

The Universe Science Fields are

  •     Astronomy, Astrophysics
  •     Exobiology, planetary protection and exoplanets
  •     Fundamental Physics
  •     life science in microgravity
  •     Material sciences in microgravity
  •     Planets & small bodies of solar system
  •     Sun, Heliosphere, Magnetospheres.
