摘要
Accidental introduction of terrestrial microorganisms to other planets during the course of robotic or manned exploration may impede or bias the detection of organic matter and possible indigenous organisms, and thereby obscure subsequent studies of their biology [1]. Since biological contamination of Mars would be a major scientific catastrophe, we examine here recent advances in our understanding of Martian surface conditions that bear on this issue.
