Solar system exploration offers many possibilities for advancing technosignature science.

The search for life in our solar system includes missions designed to search for evidence of biosignatures on other planetary bodies, but many missions seek and limit the presence of technology within our solar system. can also do.

Technosignatures and biosignatures represent complementary approaches to searching for evidence of life around our solar system and beyond. This report summarizes potential technosignature opportunities in ongoing solar system exploration and recommendations from a decadal survey of “Origin, World, and Life” planetary science and astrobiology.

Discuss opportunities to limit the spread of technosignatures in the solar system at negligible additional cost using current or future missions, and a preliminary assessment of gaps that may exist in the search for technosignatures in the solar system present.
