NASA’s Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) successfully demonstrated its ability to remove regolith, or lunar dust and dirt, from its various surfaces on the Moon during Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1.
The EDS technology uses electrodynamic forces to lift and remove the lunar dust from its surfaces.
This milestone marks a significant step toward sustaining long-term lunar and interplanetary operations by reducing dust-related hazards to a variety of surfaces for space applications.
The EDS technology is supporting NASA’s Artemis campaign and beyond.
