Abstract

The article provides a description of the activities aimed at the COSPAR planetary protection policy realization in the Phobos-Grunt mission. The results confirm that COSPAR requirements for Mars’ protection against Earth-microbe contamination and Earth’s protection against supposed hazards due to delivery of alien soil samples, are met.
