Una de los principales valores de la Red Española de Planetología y Astrobiología, es que cuenta con un selecto grupo de reconocidos científicos e ingenieros de reconocido prestigio internacional. Desde el primer momento, hemos intentado que en nuestra Red se reflejara, tanto nacional como internacionalmente, el carácter interdisciplinar necesario para el desarrollo de las actividades relacionadas con la Planetología y Astrobiología en su sentido más amplio.
REDESPA se congratula de la incorporación de la Dra. Gerda Horneck, quien acaba de ser nombrada Editora Adjunta de la revista «Astrobiology».
Incluímos a continuación un breve texto sobre su perfil y actividades:
