A new solution to the problem of spring cleaning on the moon – Tech Explorist
A dust mitigation method using an electron beam is developed for lunar exploration. The surface cleanliness level can reach about 75–85% on the timescale of 50 s.
Dust mobilized on the lunar surface due to natural processes, and human activities can readily stick to spacesuits, optical devices, and mechanical components. This may lead to dust hazards that have been considered as one of the technical challenges for future lunar exploration. Several dust mitigation technologies have been investigated over the past years.
The lunar dust is not anything like stuff that builds up on bookshelves on Earth. Lunar dust is continually bathed in radiation from the …
