Mars Sample Handling and Requirements Panel (MSHARP)
...
In anticipation of the return of samples from Mars toward the end of the first decade of the next century, NASA s Office of Space Sciences chartered a panel to examine how Mars samples should be handled. The panel was to make recommendations in three areas: (1) sample collection and transport back to Earth; (2) certification of the samples as nonha...
Integration of planetary protection activities
For decades, NASA has been concerned about the protection of planets and other solar system bodies from biological contamination. Its policies regarding biological contamination control for outbound and inbound planetary spacecraft have evolved to focus on three important areas: (1) the preservation of celestial objects and the space environment; (...
