Abstract
This report summarizes the last nine years research accomplishments under Cooperative Agreement NCC2-650 between NASA, Ames Research Center and SETI Institute. Four Major research tasks are conducted: 1. Gas chromatography column development. 2. Pyrosensor development. 3. Micro-machining gas chromatography instrument development. 4. Amino acid analysis and high molecular weight polyamino acid synthesis under prebiotic conditions. The following describes these results.
