The Challenge | Dust Yourself Off

The Apollo missions showed us that lunar dust not only clung to everything and was impossible to fully remove, but it was also dangerous to humans and damaging to spacecraft systems. Your challenge is to develop a way to detect, map, and mitigate lunar dust to reduce the effects on astronauts or spacecraft interior systems.

No dust no problems

Additional protection layer for the space suit which repels lunar dust with help of surface currents and photo elements that used to determine the dust charge and concentration. For additional protection we've developed the magnetic "brush".
