The PPOSS project (Planetary Protection of Outer Solar System bodies) is a project supported by the European Commission Horizon 2020 programme for research and technology development. PPOSS addresses the issues of planetary protection dissemination of knowledge and of strategic scientific foresight for outer solar system exploration.
In 2017-2018 PPOSS – COSPAR is organizing a series of international seminars/tutorials intended to present planetary protection framework, policy and practices to partner organisations.
In this context, PPOSS – COSPAR, the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and ZARM are collaborating to organize a free Planetary Protection Tutorial on Saturday September 29th 2018, prior to the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2018.
