摘要:The National Academies offer "Evaluating the Biological Potential in Samples Returned from Planetary Satellites and Small Solar System Bodies: Framework for Decision Making." The study examines the potential risks associated with bringing samples from planetary satellites and small solar system bodies to Earth for study. The report was written by the Task Group on Sample Return from Small Solar System Bodies, a part of the Space Studies Board of the National Research Council (NRC).
