Planetary Protection Knowledge Gaps for Future Mars Human Missions: Stepwise Progress in Identifying and Integrating Science and Technology Needs
Spry, J Andy; Race, Margaret; Kminek, Gerhard; Siegel, Bette; Conley, Cassie (48th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2018-07-08)NASA and COSPAR are engaged in a stepwise process to identify, prioritize and plan the R&TD needed for addressing planetary protection requirements for human missions beyond Earth orbit. The objective is to move incrementally ... -
Planetary Protection Requirements for Crewed Missions - An update to the COSPAR Workshop Series
Spry, J Andy; Siegel, Bette; Race, Margaret; Kminek, Gerhard; Pratt, Lisa; Coustenis, Athena (2020 International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2020-07-31)Planetary protection (PP) for crewed missions was last addressed during the Apollo era, where PP precautions were taken out of an abundance of caution. For Mars, we just don’t know yet about its indigenous biosphere: It ... -
Putting Planetary Protection Parameters in Place Ahead of the Human Exploration of Mars
Spry, J. Andy; Rummel, John; Race, Margaret; Conley, Catharine; Siegel, Bette; Kminek, Gerhard (47th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2017-07-16)Spacefaring nations have, since the earliest years of the space programs, committed to protecting solar system objects from harmful contamination carried by interplanetary spacecraft. In this way, the scientific interrogation ... -
Using Astrobiology & Space Mission Planning to Bring STEM Challenges to Audiences of All Ages.
Race, Margaret (47th International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2017-07-16)When the public imagines space missions, they often consider rocket scientists, astronauts and mission controllers as the main experts involved. They're surprised to learn about the diversity of people in STEM fields whose ...
