Demonstration of an Electrostatic Dust Shield on the Lunar Surface

PI Troy Henderson

This project will demonstrate the capability of an electrostatic dust shield, developed by NASA/KSC engineers, to remove dust from the lens of a camera after impact on the lunar surface.

This project, which is funded by NASA Kennedy Space Center, will demonstrate the capability of an electrostatic dust shield, developed by NASA/KSC engineers, to remove dust from the lens of a camera after impact on the lunar surface. Laboratory tests will confirm the experiment design, followed by a flight to the lunar surface in early 2022
