The book introduces innovative technologies that use electrostatic and di-electrophoretic forces to remove and transport small particles away from surfaces. In addition, it discusses how to resolve thermal control problems and reduce lung inhalation and eye irritation problems. The book includes two abrasive wear test devices that were designed to study the rate of volume wear for different materials when subjected to lunar dust simulant of different size ranges.
This will be an ideal resource for space system engineers, space exploration researchers, and advanced students and professionals in space engineering.
- Provides a comprehensive background on lunar and Martian dust properties and challenges and compares currently available mitigation strategies
- Highlights the problems from dust on various space systems and crew
- Features discrete element models which were created and calibrated based on experimental results to study the capacity of the proposed technique for removing and cleaning dust in a planetary environment
