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.

REGOLITH BUFFER SYSTEM

This project deals about the Analysis of Lunar Dust and it's di-electric property along with it's complex geometry. and these challenging property resulted as their own solution and make this lunar dust a mere history.

SOLUTION #1

•RADIATION
VS RADIATION •But it’s not possible to create another solar wind! Or Galactic Wind at the required time.


SOLUTION #2

•COMPLEX GEOMETRY VS COMPLEX GEOMETRY

•The Complex structure of nature has high entropy thus they are thermodynamic ally non settle substances
•Cost effectiveness will reduce but it’s a working solution


SOLUTION #3

•SILICON IS BEHAVING LIKE GRAPHITE LAYERS

TESTING OF THE PROTOTYPE

•The structural behavior due to dielectric provided the pyroxene and olivine to channel through the valley gaps of the structures.
