Astrobiology in India

INDIAN ASTROBIOLOGY RESEARCH FOUNDATION ( IARF), MUMBAI

INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMA IN ASTROBIOLOGY

What is so unique about this course?

This is the immensely flagship course program about astrobiology, it is unprecedented in its scope and written in a way that promises to thoroughly prepare to appreciate astrobiology.

This is a unique course written by the Program Head in the much sought-after long form style. The content is interspersed with curated short videos and illustrations, this makes the powerful long form content even more engaging.

What is the benefit of participating in this course?

This Astrobiology Diploma gives you a thorough overview about astrobiology; the study of the origin, evolution and distribution of life in the universe. It also refers to the search for any kind of life elsewhere, as well as the search for the elusive ET.

Here is the primary benefit, you will be able to appreciate astrobiology and its role in driving space exploration as well as be able to find your place in the vast astrobiology landscape.

This course is about asking the big questions that will help us;

To understand the origin of life and its evolution.

To probe for extraterrestrial life, especially intelligent life.

To understand the future of life on Earth and extraterrestrial life

Remember, the the quest to ask the big question began with you birthday however to find the answers you must go all the way back, to a point of infinite energy 13.7 billion years ago. As for the for worldly benefits, here they are;

1. You receive certificates with official IARF and related logos – the coveted IARF-ICUN courses have been offered since 2006 and are known for their high quality content, participants from IITs and IIMs and from across the globe have benefited by participating in these courses.

2. You boost your academic performance – (if you are a student, sure you will get more marks in your exams including the competitive exams).

3. You boost your career prospects – (just remember, space exploration is already here, in academics and in professional life, and astrobiology is at the forefront of it all).

4. The way the course is written, you will further improve as a person as you better appreciate the sheer vastness of it all and your significance in this 93 billion light years wide universe, there is a reason they say, “astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience.”

MARS AMITY RESEARCH STATION

India's first Space Exploration Training Camp, starting in June 2021

“Amity is establishing India’s first Planetary Science, Education and Experience Program in a remote, off-Earth like environment. The program will support Astrobiology and Space Biology research, help monitor Climate change, inspire students to pursue STEM education and spread awareness about Space in India.

Are you a student, teacher, researcher or a space/climate enthusiast?

​

Do you want to experience Mars exploration, learn about our changing environment, personally guided and trained by leading Space and Earth scientists?

•Ladakh, India has been classified as ‘High Value’ Analogue Site for Science, Technology and Operations Testing by International Space Community for Mars exploration

•Ladakh is like Ancient Mars (when it was warmer and had liquid water) and can help understand surface evolution and life origination on Earth and possibly on Mars

•Ladakh has Unique surface, weather and microorganisms exposed to very high altitude, low Oxygen, high UV radiation environment

•Several space research experiments and technologies tested by NASA, ESA in Ladakh since 2016 as part of NASA Spaceward Bound Program, supported by Amity University.

The terraforming of Mars or the terraformation of Mars is a hypothetical procedure that would consist of a planetary engineering project or concurrent projects, with the goal of transforming the planet from one hostile to terrestrial life to one that can sustainably host humans and other lifeforms free of protection or mediation. The process would presumably involve the rehabilitation of the planet's extant climate, atmosphere, and surface through a variety of resource-intensive initiatives, and the installation of a novel ecological system or systems.
