I did not know that cleanrooms have classes. Apparently they used a 10000 class cleanroom which is one of the "dirtiest" grade.
Surely an astroid sample return mission is scientifically one of the most important and difficult things to accomplish, and I wonder why they did not use a higher class cleanroom for this even though they mentioned "Researchers recommend enhanced contamination control procedures for future sample-return missions to prevent microbial colonization and ensure the integrity of extraterrestrial samples."
