Recommendation: The term ‘Planetary Protection' should not be used by NASA to describe the need to prevent the contamination of the Earth or other celestial bodies through human or robotic exploration. Instead, NASA should more properly refer to conducting space exploration so as to avoid ‘harmful contamination' of celestial bodies and ‘adverse changes in the environment of the Earth' when referencing concerns regarding contamination through human or robotic exploration.

The recommended multi-disciplinary task force should be tasked with producing a detailed policy, provided to a joint session of the NAC Regulatory and Policy Committee, the Science Committee, and the Human Exploration and Operations Committee, that will describe best practices for the Administration, the science and research community, and private sector, to protect against harmful contamination and adverse changes in the environment of the Earth. The multi-disciplinary task force should also explore the use of the term ‘Planetary Protection' relative to other terms utilized in the Outer Space Treaty.
