Pioneering Dust Management: Electrostatic System for Mars Missio…

Embarking on a journey to Mars represents one of humanity’s most audacious goals for space exploration in the 21st century. This endeavor, however, comes with a unique set of challenges that must be addressed to ensure the safety and success of astronauts on the Martian surface. The Martian Challenge, as it is widely known, encompasses a range of obstacles, from the psychological and physiological effects of long-duration space travel to the technical difficulties of landing on and living on the Red Planet. Among these challenges, the pervasive presence of Martian regolith (dust) and its potential hazards to both astronauts and equipment stands out as a critical concern that demands innovative solutions.
