Multiple beam irradiation platform MIRRPLA: origin and evolution of organic matter in the solar system
Résumé
“Where do we come from?” is one of the important fascinating open questions of science and
philosophy. How did life emerge? What is the origin of organic matter in the universe? Could
life also emerge on other worlds than our Earth? Complex organic molecules have indeed been
observed in space (comets, meteorites, molecular clouds). In 2023, France launched the
Programmes et équipements prioritaires de recherche (PEPR) Origins (life and universe),
through the program leader the National Centre for Scientific Research, to address these
questions [1]. Understanding the origin of primitive organic matter during the formation and
evolution of the solar system is fundamental because the contribution of extraterrestrial organic
matter via asteroids and comets is one of the possible sources of organic matter available to
primitive Earth [2].
