Given the acceleration in discoveries in recent years with the installation of new facilities, this workshop will
(1) explore the chemistry of space—its novel chemicals and reaction mechanisms
(2) discuss information from remote sensing through spectroscopy
(3) consider discoveries from spacecraft missions in the solar system and laboratory studies of extraterrestrial samples

Throughout much of human history, space was thought to be a void in which only ions or radicals existed. It was only in the last half of the 20th century that scientists began to discover the existence of molecules, such as ammonia, in space. Discovery has accelerated in the last decade with the ins...
