Space flight to the surface of Mars or other solar system bodies entails the possibility of carrying materials and organisms from the Earth to those destinations, and hence contaminating the planetary surface or atmosphere. This is termed "forward" contamination. The possibility that spacefaring crews landing on the surface of Mars or other bodies beyond the Moon may be exposed to harmful substances, possibly biological but more likely inorganic toxins, is called "backward" contamination. These two modes of introducing alien materials into a planetary environment are the focus of planetary protection concerns. 1, record 2, English, - backward%20contamination

The goal of planetary protection as stated in National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) policy is the prevention of forward and backward contamination. This policy applies directly to the control of terrestrial organisms contaminating spacecraft intended to land, orbit, fly by or be in the vicinity of extraterrestrial bodies. Viking mission landers were terminally heat-sterilized to decrease the risk of forward contamination to Mars and to assure that terrestrial microorganisms would not contaminate the life detection experiments. 3, record 3, English, - forward%20contamination

Un paso decisivo para la divulgación de la batería de níquel-cadmio fue el desarrollo de su construcción estanca. Con ella se obtenía una batería completamente estanca que no requería mantenimiento y de la que no podía salir gas ni vapores de electrolito. Los ámbitos de mayor aplicación de estas baterías son los pequeños aparatos portátiles, ya que pueden utilizarse en cualquier lugar. 4, record 10, Spanish, - acumulador%20de%20n%C3%ADquel%2Dcadmio
