The impact and relevance of this solution directly affects the health of the astronauts, the maintenance of the instruments and in general the useful life of all the elements.

The global impact of this solution could also be applied to the industrial and personal environment. It could be used in hospitals, fafricas, mines, in HEALTH in general, in vacuum cleaners or in electronic cleanrooms and in preventive maintenance of machinery.

This proyect is made for a deteccion of lunar dust. The lunar dust is abrasive for all materials, also for humanes. Our idea is to use a LIDAR with a complementary high resolution camera.

For detect the cuantity and size of the lunar dust, the solution is a high resolution camera and a LIDAR for measure the state of the dust and find the correct moment to for example open a door or take palliative actions to avoid dust accumulation in unwanted areas

A solution to avoid the dust may be an electromacnetic field or a small EMP, both of them are enough to avoid the dust without damaging the components or systems of the ship.

we could consider the possibility of using a mirror or magnifying glass, or a combination of both, we could heat these suspended particles and move them away from the ship's surroundings

PROPOSED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

Looking at the link solarsystem.nasa.gov we discovered that they use to measure the global distributions of gas and dust in the lunar atmosphere, they use measures of absorbing solar infrared rays, from a global one as the name implies. Then the idea that we propose is taken from here but changing the use of infrared by the Laser. Using a LIDAR based on TOF and Laser diffraction to, more locally, detect the amount of suspended dust and the size of the particles, as well as the position of these particles, clouds or dust agglomerations, in areas where it could occur that transfer of dust from the outside to the inside, and especially in the critical moments in which it could be transferred to the interior or to the door seals, and even at the time of the use of sensitive instruments in which you open any door or gate or cover that carries some sensor. This ability to measure and quantify that dust will indicate the right time or not to open that hatch, so if at that time the accumulation is large we will wait first to take any of the proposed palliative measures, re-measure the amount and position of that dust and thus find the right time to perform the action of opening that door, hatch or lid.

This system is complemented by a system composed of high resolution cameras and flash lights in different angles or different strategic positions to detect these particles.

The comparison of the data of the LIDAR and camera would give a result in which the redundancy of these data would be increased in the case of taking the same measure of quantity and position of said particles, as well as contributing two types of different measure that complements where what a system has been able to measure or quantify adds to what the other system has measured, because on the one hand the flash would give shadows, and the beam or beams of the lidar will have a determined number of bounces that will dictate the number of particles they detect with that same beam as well as the LIDAR refresh rate number.

PROPOSED PALLIATIVE ACTION

This idea comes after the "Lunar Source Book" chapter 3.4 "DUST" arrives, here it is exposed how and why this dust removal occurs, and since it is given by an electric charge coming from the UVA rays, we think that The most efficient way to solve that problem would be to use the handicap itself that generated the problem as part of the solution. In this way, creating an electron-magnetic field as a curtain around the area to be protected could be a solution to the entry of dust into the lunar module. We use this solution because if to get to this solution I started from scratch, I would first have to load the particle that I want to repel, and then with another charge repel it, in this way, using part of the problem as the solution, we have half the work done.

The other solution would be to cause "electromagnetic micro pulses" to repel dust, these pulses would be of an intensity less than necessary to affect or break the electrical systems of the ship or astronauts, but strong enough to affect that powder in suspension and repel it, so it would be micropulses that would be emitted with a high frequency to move that powder slightly with each "mini pulse", which would be repeated the hundreds or thousands of times necessary to expel that dust without affecting the instruments. These events would take place in the critical areas of the ship and especially in the critical moments in which that dust can enter the ship, such as the astronaut's entry and exit moments.

In a complementary way, the surface of the lunar module and the suits, the vehicles, etc., could have a low electric charge but sufficient to repel said dust, this charge would be generated with solar panels dedicated specifically for this purpose, in this way we also combat the problem taking advantage of the element that causes it, that is, the sun's rays.
