How can I avoid a spark on an oxygen-rich planet

My NASA-like scientists in a system far, far away, but otherwise similar to us today, understand that their nearest sister planet, Sunev, is habitable for mankind.

With one exception: it is almost pure oxygen. My space program really wants to get a scientist out there, but the likelihood of entry and landing could ignite large pockets of combustion.

Is there any way for my-NASA to land astronauts on Sunev, conduct studies in their gas filter masks, and return?

If it's too hard, I'm happy to leave my scientist astronauts there forever. We don't think there's any life on the planet, but they volunteered the possible eventuality that there might soon be death on the planet.
