ARTA – NASA is still struggling to deal with dust on the surface of the Moon. In a recent report, NASA explained that the problem of dust on the Moon is not the same as that on the couch.
The Moon island has no atmosphere, so its particle shape is redder even though it looks like dust on Earth. With its density, this dust can unearth everything from space clothing to astronauts’ lungs if the count is inhaled.
Lunar dust can also damage technology launched by NASA or other space agencies because it can accumulate in solar panels. If this dust covers the panel, the device will not be able to survive the moon night due to a lack of available power.
Kristen John, head of NASA’s Lunar Surface Integration Technical Initiative, also confirmed this problem. John stated that “the contaminated surface (dust) appears clean.” If allowed to accumulate in a thermal radiator, dust can increase the temperature of the device.
renovation of lunar dust. So far, NASA has developed several projects that can overcome the lunar dust problem, such as ClothBot to mimic and measure the transport of lunar dust. This dust release is tested by the release of particles from a small piece of space fabric.
electroshock electroshock (EDL) to check for lunar dust increasing when electrostatic charging occurs after UV exposure. During the flight, the electroshock cameras will record and illuminate the dust until they get rid of the vacuum door.
year, it is Hermes Lunar-G, which was developed in collaboration with Texas A&M and Texas Space Technology Application and Research (T STAR). The technology uses hardware that was flight tested and was part of the International Space Station (ISS).
Hermes Lunar-G technology has four tubes to compact simulations during flights, takeoffs and landings. The data collected will be used to learn how to overcome or remove lunar dust from the device.
John said: “Studying some basic traits about how lunar dust behaves and how lunar dust impacts systems has implications that go far beyond dust mitigation and lunar dust. ‘environment. »
