Zusammenfassung
As space scientists and engineers plan new
missions to Mars and other planets in our solar
system, they will face critical questions about
the potential for biological contamination of
planetary surfaces. In a society that places
ever-increasing importance on the role of
public involvement in science and technology
policy, questions about risks of biological
contamination will be examined and debated
in the media, and will lead to the formation of
public perceptions of planetary-contamination
risks. These perceptions will, over time, form
an important input to the development of space policy.
