2020年11月12日 · The Ejecta STORM sensor aims to precisely measure lunar dust storms created by rocket plumes in order to help aid predictive modeling and mitigation plans for future missions.

2021年6月8日 · Beyond Earth’s atmosphere, dust is insidious. On the Moon, it’s made of crushed rock and is damaging to everything from lunar landers to spacesuits and human lungs if inhaled. As NASA readies to return to the Moon with the Artemis program, a team at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is working to mitigate dust’s dangers.

2024年2月15日 · The experiment, developed jointly by NASA and the University of Central Florida, sheds light on how these abrasive dust grains interact with astronauts, their spacesuits, and other equipment on the Moon.

2023年12月1日 · Lunar dust has the potential to impede any planned operation on the Lunar surface, especially that of a permanent Moon settlement. First identified during the Apollo missions, Lunar dust causes overheating, abrasion, and clogging of Lunar surface equipment and causes health problems for astronauts.

2024年4月3日 · In this study, we summarize the physical and chemical properties of lunar dust and our understanding of dust transport on the lunar surface, identify remaining challenges and issues in the study of lunar dust, and offer perspectives on this research field.

2018年7月1日 · Apollo dust is defined as all fine dust on and in the vicinity (<10 m) of the surface of Moon that can cause or lead to operational impacts and operational problems for robotic and human expeditions and settlements on Moon (Cernan, 1973) and Gaier (2012) (Gaier, 2005)). Ejecta dust is defined as high speed dust particles resulting from ...

2020年12月3日 · It's a long and skinny dust storm, stretching all the way from the north pole to the south pole, swirling across the surface, following the terminator as sunrise ceaselessly sweeps around the...

Apollo missions to the moon showed, lunar dust adhesion can hinder manned and unmanned lunar exploration activities. Taking advantage of the electrical activity on both planetary system bodies, dust removal technologies are now being developed that use electrostatic and dielectrophoretic forces to produce controlled dust motion.

2005年12月8日 · Every lunar morning, when the sun first peeks over the dusty soil of the moon after two weeks of frigid lunar night, a strange storm stirs the surface.

2022年7月12日 · This paper reviews the research on the lunar dust, including the interplanetary impactor environment at the Earth–Moon system as well as the impactors’ orbital characteristics, the mass yield, the initial distribution, the dynamic model of lunar dust, and their spatial distribution characteristics in the Earth–Moon system.
