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.
How to deal with the lunar dust?
Integrated intelligent system for detecting, mapping and mitigating the lunar dust. The detecting and the mapping are made with sensors that collect data where the dust is presented. The mitigating is made with a special device that uses an electromagnet.
