Book excerpt: Analytical Chemistry and Nano Sciences Applied to Outer Space For thousands of years, humans have looked into space and attempted to analyze and characterize what lies beyond the Earth. The massive technological advancements of the last century have allowed us to undertake these goals with ever-increasing efficiency and accuracy, and today many nations around the world have space agencies dedicated to understanding and exploring the universe around us. These agencies utilize analytical chemistry to serve three main goals: to understand the geology and atmospheric processes of the Earth, to understand better the composition and environments of planets and solar bodies in the solar system and beyond, and to investigate techniques to allow for further human exploration of space. Chapter Outline: Key chemicals and materials Challenges and innovation needs Regulations Key analytical techniques Conclusions and future directions The Open Courses Library introduces you to the best Open Source Courses.
