The laboratory has a strong technical component in the field of space instrumentation and conducts work in experimental astrochemistry on extraterrestrial and interstellar solid matter and its evolution. It is a major interlocutor of national space agencies (CNES), or international (ESA, NASA) and works with many industrial partners.
