Decontam

Decontam was the large-scale neutralization of harmful organisms, such as parasites and insects, aboard a starship. The process was standard operating procedure for all space vessels prior to being granted permission to land or an in-space rendezvous.

Decontam had two phases:

Phase I: A vessel quarantine and the use of gaseous agents harmful to microbes.

Phase II: Irradiation of the vessel's interior.

Some planetary health organizations required an inoculation of the crew prior to disembarkation.
