Forward-contamination issues related to Mars missions were addressed in a 2006 National Research Council (NRC) book, Preventing the Forward Contamination of Mars. However, it has been more than 10 years since back-contamination issues were last examined. Driven by a renewed interest in Mars sample return missions, this book reviews, updates, and replaces the planetary protection conclusions and recommendations contained in the NRC's 1997 report Mars Sample Return: Issues and Recommendations. The specific issues addressed in this book include the following: the potential for living entities to be included in samples returned from Mars; scientific investigations that should be conducted to reduce uncertainty in the above assessment; the potential for large-scale effects on Earth's environment by any returned entity released to the environment; criteria for intentional sample release, taking note of current and anticipated regulatory frameworks; and the status of technological measures that could be taken on a mission to prevent the inadvertent release of a returned sample into Earth's biosphere. 000431003 650_0 $$aSpace flight to Mars$$xPlanning. 000431003 650_0 $$aSpace microbiology. 000431003 650_0 $$aMars surface samples. 000431003 650_0 $$aMicrobial contamination$$xPrevention. 000431003 651_0 $$aMars (Planet)$$xExploration. 000431003 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000431003 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bSpace Studies Board. 000431003 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences. 000431003 7102_ $$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 000431003 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bCommittee on the Review of Planetary Protection Requirements for Mars Sample Return Missions. 000431003 852__ $$bebk 000431003 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10495466$$zOnline Access 000431003 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:431003$$pGLOBAL_SET 000431003 980__ $$aEBOOK 000431003 980__ $$aBIB 000431003 982__ $$aEbook 000431003 983__ $$aOnline
