Thanks very much for posting this, Graeme. We don't see very much about activities to assure that humans do not "infect" other planets. Especially with Elon Musk seeming to want to get to Mars as soon as possible, I've been concerned about this very issue. It's great to see that the issue is still being taken seriously.

I imagine a 35m parachute takes a fair bit of disinfecting!
