... Research was done in the area of survivability of microorganisms under extremely adverse conditions, including simulated martian environments. Expert advisory committees were assembled, and guidelines were developed that led to the formulation of the Viking cleaning and sterilization protocols.
From page 112...
... In order to assure that the interior of the spacecraft reached sufficient temperature for sterilization, a liquid was pumped to the interior. The precise heating cycle was indicated by the calculated bioburden on the lander as determined by surface sampling with standard laboratory techniques (cotton swabbing, culturing, and microbial colony counting)
From page 113...
... Viking sterilization protocols were settled on in the early 1970s and based on technology developed in the 1960s and earlier. An appropriate, properly funded research program could greatly enhance the prospect of simplifying procedures and reducing costs.
