In planning for sample return missions involving near earth asteroids (NEA), success will depend on more than just science and technology. Mission planners must also consider planetary protection policies, possible biocontainment needs, legal and procedural requirements, environmental issues, and public risk communication. Integrating these factors into mission plans from the earliest phase will be essential to avoid potential problems and prepare for public scrutiny or challenges. Fortunately, many of these considerations are similar to those already anticipated for Mars sample return. As plans for NEA sample return missions are developed, it is likely that information from numerous recent reports, studies, and workshops on extraterrestrial sample return can serve as helpful planning guidelines.
