Dust particles scatter during an experiment for the Electrodynamic Dust Shield for Dust Mitigation project in the Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory in the SwampWorks at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The fabricated material is designed to mimic the dust on the lunar surface.But at least even as thick the dust coating might be around the house, with one fell swoop of duster, the particles are wiped away and the surface is clean again.
The original testing for EDS in space took place in vacuum chambers and was used to remove lunar dust samples from NASA's Apollo Missions. The first time it was tested in spaceas part of the NASA Materials International Space Station Experiment 11 mission inserted in a dozen different glass, polyimide, and prototype spacesuit fabric panels.
