Anti Microbe Lab Planned for Pasadena Jet Propulsion Lab
A $1.5 million facility will be built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to keep Earth microbes from contaminating Mars and Venus. Parts of Voyager craft to launch in the 1970s will be sterilized in a 1,000-square-foot clean room using heat and ethylene oxide. Testing begins mid-1967 as unmanned Voyagers are planned to fly by and land capsules on Mars and Venus to search for life.
