NASA Technology Helps Guard Against Lunar Dust
Using transparent electrodes and electric fields, EDS technology can electrically lift and remove dust from a variety of surfaces for space applications
Controlling and removing the statically-charged dust will be critical to the success of Moon missions under the agency’s’ CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign. Before making it to space, EDS had been predominantly tested in vacuum chambers that produced promising results of removing simulants and samples of lunar regolith, collected during NASA’s Apollo missions, from surfaces within a second. Most recently, as part of Intuitive Machines ’ first lunar lander mission, EDS technology was embedded in two lenses of EagleCam, a CubeSat camera system developed by students at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
