One of the most pervasive limits to planetary surface exploration is the presence of dust, which, can be electrostatically charged and adheres to everything with which it comes into contact. Electrostatic Dust Mitigation and Manipulation Techniques for Planetary Dust explains how to control and remove dust in space considering the presence of vacuum, abrasiveness of dust particles, and electric charge on the particles. This book introduces an innovative technology of using electrostatic and dielectrophoretic forces to remove and transport fine dust particles away from surfaces. Dust mitigation can resolve thermal control problems when dust covers LRV batteries and also reduces lung inhalation and eye irritation problems from the dust. This book is an invaluable resource for space system engineers, space exploration researchers, students and professionals in space engineering. Key Features Provides a comprehensive background on lunar and Martian dust properties and challenges and compares currently available mitigation strategies, Highlights 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
