New Challenges for Planetary Protection
This session provides a unique opportunity for members of the scientific community, emerging space powers, the private sector, and advocates for human space exploration to discuss critical questions in the development of future international planetary protection policies. Is the existing framework for planetary protection policy sufficient for including the interests of new actors? How should the space community organize to develop a new response to meet all of these needs and ambitions? What next steps need to occur if we are to create effective technical and legal planetary protection standards that serve as enablers of space exploration for everyone involved?
