Planetary protection issues for the MESUR mission: Probability of growth (Pg)The purpose of the workshop was to re-evaluate the existing guidelines for the probability of growth of terrestrial organisms on Mars that were established by the National Academy of Sciences following the Viking Mission. A panel of specialists in microbiology and allied fields reviewed this issue in the light of current information about the physical and chemical environments expected on Mars. Their deliberations resulted in the virtually unanimous conclusion that the existing Pg guidelines were either appropriate or that the values for Pg should be further reduced. Individual assessments of this problem by each of the participants, together with those of additional invited experts are included.
