<;p>;Exploration of the Moon or other dusty environments comes with challenges. The lunar surface is covered in material known as regolith and its a jaggy‚ glassy material. It can cause wear and tear on equipment and can pose a health risk to astronauts too. Astronauts travelling to Mars would experience dust saucing to everything‚ including solar panels leading to decrease in power. To combat the problems created by dust‚ NASA is working on an innovative electrodynamic dust shield to remove dust and protect surfaces from solar panels to space suits.<;/p>;<;span>;<;/span>;<;p>;Dust is common on Earth as much as it is on other worlds although of course the source can be very different. It plagues are homes and leads to the constant battle to remove it from our homes in the almost ritualistic activity of dusting. Even here there are a multitude of sprays‚ brushes and rags that claim to help. Some even employ the electrostatic force to help repel dust from surfaces. It is a mere annoyance to us‚ perhaps causing the odd electrical device to over heat but largely its a small part of our lives. On alien worlds‚ it can lead to serious equipment malfunction and serious health hazards.<;/p>;<;p>;Researchers at NASAs Kennedy Space Centre in Florida are now turning to electrostatic forces for help to keep astronauts and equipment dust free. Technology is being developed that has been called the Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) I rather wish they dropped the word dust from the title to make it sound a little more StarTrek!
