Mars 2018 is a Category V and IVb mission with corresponding PP (Planetary Protection) requirements center; MSR (Mars Sample Return) PP requirements are sufficiently different from all previous Mars missions that new technology and capabilities are needed; Technology gaps for Mars 2018 have been identified and an investment portfolio developed; Mars Focused Technology program will invest in four critical areas: Contamination risk assessment, Surface sterilization and precision cleaning, Cross contamination prevention, Sample containment, sealing, sample integrity.
