Summary
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, right, looks through a magnifying instrument at a sample during a tour of NASA's Planetary Protection Laboratory as Kennedy Space Center Director Robert Cabana looks on, Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2011, at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Samples such as this, are used to analyze planetary protection technologies for cleaning and sterilizing spacecraft like the mars rover Curiosity. The primary strategy is to prevent the transportation of Earth organisms to Mars to be sure that the hardware intended to reach the planet is clean. Photo Credit: (NASA/Paul E. Alers)
