The main unique features of biological systems are reviewed, and four necessary and sufficient attributes of life are formulated, based on the ideas of Ervin Bauer.

Geographical distribution of space life science research. Paper count is colored on a log scale in red for all countries available in the bibliometric analysis. Scattered blue dots are marked for cities with the largest citation counts. For the top 20 countries, we show the breakdown of citations as a pie chart in terms of the three corresponding disciplines of Astrobiology (green), Bioastronautics (blue), and Space Bioprocess Engineering (pink). Countries with light blue background indicate zero records. For fig. 1, We show the breakdown of citations as a pie chart in terms of the three corresponding disciplines of Astrobiology (green), Bioastronautics (blue), and Space Bioprocess Engineering (pink). Countries with non-zero records are log-scaled by the color Red. Countries with light blue background indicate zero records. -- npj Microgravity
