Pulmonary Toxicity of Lunar Highland Dust
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2009<div class="htmlview paragraph">Lunar dust exposures occurred during the Apollo missions while the crew was in the lunar module on the moon's surface and especially when micro-gravity conditions were attained during rendezvous in lunar orbit. Crews reported that the dust was irritating to the eyes, and in some cases, respiratory symptoms were ...

Experiments on dust removal performance of a novel PLZT driven lunar dust mitigation technique
, 2019Lunar dust removal has proved to be one of the most important issues to be solved in lunar exploration. A novel lunar dust removal technique based on the anomalous photovoltaic effect of lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) has been ...

A new photovoltaic lunar dust removal technique based on the coplanar bipolar electrodes
Smart materials and structures (Print), 2019Lunar dust removal is one of the most important issues to be solved in lunar exploration. A lunar dust removal method based on the anomalous photovoltaic effect of lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate has been developed in our previous research ...

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1965
The appearance of laboratory craters overlain by various thicknesses of sand has been compared with that of lunar craters, 3 to 13,000 meters in diameter, shown in ten photographs obtained by the Ranger 7 spacecraft. Results obtained are consistent with an interpretation that at least 5 meters of granular material, and probably considerably more, is ...

Scattering properties of lunar dust analogs
Planetary and Space Science, 2014A number of space missions are planned to explore the lunar exosphere which may contain a small population of dust particles. The objective of this paper is to present preliminary results from scattering experiments on a suspension of lunar simulants to support one such mission.

Lunar Dust: Properties and Investigation Techniques
Solar System Research, 2017Physical conditions in the near-surface layer of the Moon are overviewed. This medium is formed in the course of the permanent micrometeoroid bombardment of the lunar regolith and due to the exposure of the regolith to solar radiation and high-energy charged particles of solar and galactic origin. During a considerable part of a lunar day (more than 20%

It has been suggested that lunar dust grains can be transported by the electrostatic forces above the lunar terminator and produce the lunar horizon glow (LHG) by forward-scattering of sunlight.

Galactic dust lanes and lunar soil
Nature, 1975IT has been proposed by McCrea1, Shapley2 and Hoyle and Lyttleton3 that passages of the Solar System through interstellar clouds have appreciable effects on the Earth. McCrea argues that the recurrence of ice epochs4 every ∼ 250 Myr coincides with the passage of the Solar System through a galactic spiral arm approximately every 108 yr.
