Information - BG7.01/PS1.8/PS11 Robotic solar system exploration and the search for evidence of life on Mars
Event Information
Both the European Space Agency (ESA) and National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) are planning astrobiology missions for specifically Mars exploration. To enable best possible results for these missions, one aspect is the rigorous testing of instrumentation in terrestrial planetary analogue environments prior to the mission. With astrobiology missions planned, the aspect of planetary protection further will play an important role in mission planning.
We therefore invited papers that cover the aspects of analytical instrumentation for space exploration, testing of such instruments in the laboratory and field, as well as contributions that deal with issues related to planetary protection and spacecraft sterilization procedures. With this scheme we hope to facilitate the exchange of latest knowledge on research and development as well as to stimulate discussion on future planetary exploration strategies
