Abstract Planetary Protection (PP) is the practice of safeguarding solar system bodies from terrestrial biological contamination and screening Earth against potentially harmful extraterrestrial contamination. On Earth, cleanrooms spacecraft surfaces are assayed using swabs wipes that then heat shocked for 15 min at 80°C to select spores. The samples further processed pour-plate method Petri plates (TSA plates), with trypticase soy agar (TSA) serving as growth medium. This sampling processing...
