Electrostatic Dust Mitigation and Manipulation Techniques for Planetary Dust

Electrostatic Dust Mitigation and Manipulation Techniques for Planetary Dust by Nima Gharib, Javad Farrokhi Derakhshandeh, and Peter Radziszewski

Discover a definitive resource that addresses one of the most persistent challenges in planetary exploration: abrasive, clingy dust on the Moon, Mars, and other airless bodies. This authoritative guide blends theory and practical solutions to deliver a clear roadmap for engineers, researchers, mission planners, and students focused on electrostatic dust mitigation and manipulation technologies.

Begin with a compelling overview of electrostatic principles as they apply to planetary regolith, then move into detailed analyses of device architectures, material interactions, and field-control strategies proven or proposed for lunar and Martian environments. Case studies and comparative evaluations highlight real-world performance, while imagery and schematics clarify complex mechanisms for both laboratory and in-situ applications.

Why this book matters: it translates advanced physics into implementable designs for dust shields, cleaning systems, and manipulation techniques that improve rover longevity, instrument fidelity, and habitat safety. Coverage includes scale-up challenges, environmental considerations (vacuum, temperature extremes), and integration with power and mobility systems—making it indispensable for those developing next-generation space hardware.

Whether you’re working within NASA, ESA, commercial space ventures, or academic research, this volume provides actionable insights and a global perspective on planetary dust management. Practical, well-researched, and forward-looking, it equips you to tackle dust-related mission risks with confidence.
