I admit your question came from left field for me. Every spacecraft
clean room work involves wearing clean room attire like the bunny suit
in that picture. Even when it involves one piece of electronics, one
must wear attire like that to protect the components. Sample returns
from space missions have the same situation, one cannot contaminate
any aspect of the samples.
