Abstract

Planetary protection is significantly important for the earth safety and the exploration of the origin of life. In this article, its current history and development are systematically reviewed. The categories of planetary protection are divided according to the different tasks. Then, based on the whole process of the planetary exploration, the measures of planetary protection are analyzed, which include forwarding contamination and back contamination. Finally, the development and implementary suggestions of planetary protection are proposed.
