What is Planetary Protection
bull Planetary Protection addresses microbial contamination ofthe solar system
bullSpacecraft that we launch from Earth (forward contamination)bullContamination of the Earth and Moon (backward contamination)
from restricted sample return missions
bull To prevent either forward or backward contamination spacecraft hardware must be cleaned andor sterilized thenevaluated for the presence of microorganisms
bullCleanroom environmentsbullCleaning the hardwarebull Routinely sample the cleaned hardware
(Thinkstock 2018)
