Researchers have simulated the Moon's electrostatically charged environment here on Earth.
However, the Moon’s surface poses a significant hurdle – it’s electrostatically charged. Researchers at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology have simulated the Moon’s electrostatically charged environment here on Earth.NASA looks to build moon base network for upcoming Artemis missions
Regolith particles carrying an electrostatic charge pose significant risks to space exploration equipment. When these particles adhere to surfaces, such as photovoltaic cells, they reduce energy generation efficiency. The team has developed an innovative chamber to recreate these conditions and assess potential risks.
This equipment can also measure the amount of photoelectric current generated, which holds utmost importance in the charging process of
