Development of an Objective Definition of Habitability and a Habitability Data Base.
Abstract
This report summarizes the work performed in two areas: development of an objective definition of habitability and development of a habitability data base. Although it has been assumed that an absolute, objective definition of habitability cannot be reached because of the subject's dynamic nature, considerable progress has been made in developing a definition which provides a means for dealing systematically with habitability data. The prototype Habitability Data Base which has been developed provides a way of collecting, analyzing, storing, and retrieving such data. Recommendations for continuing development in both areas are also presented. (Author)
