Identifying the Effects of X-Ray Computed Tomography on Mars 2020 Tier I Organic CompoundsMars sample return presents unique challenges for the clean collection, containment, curation and processing of samples. The related issues of life detection and Planetary Protection are of particular importance when developing successful strategies for the acquisition and handling of Mars returned samples. In order to achieve the Mars Sample Return (MSR) science goals, reliable analyses will depend on overcoming some challenging signal/noise-related issues, such that sparse Martian organic compounds will need to be reliably analyzed against the contamination background arising from the complicated MSR campaign. Reliable analyses will depend on clean acquisition, as well as robust documentation of all aspects of both the development and management of the cache.
