Prof. Esa Kallio (Finnish Meteorological Institute)04/11/2014, 14:00Activity: GSP Contractor(s): FMI, IRF, UBe, Arquimea Technical Officer: Fabrice Cipriani Summary: Dust above the lunar surface has an importance both for science and for technology. Dust particles are electrically charged due to impact of the solar radiation onto the particles, and therefore, they affect the plasma above the lunar surface. Dust is also a health hazard for crewed...Go to contribution page

Dr Sebastien Hess (ONERA)04/11/2014, 14:30Activity: GSP Contractor(s): ONERA, Lancaster University, Leuven University, Stuttgart University Technical Officer: Fabrice Cipriani Summary: The Apollo missions demonstrated that the lunar regolith, composed of very small dusts of micron to sub-micron sizes, is a potential threat to any mission on or close to the moon surface. The lunar dusts are highly adhesive due to their small...Go to contribution page

Dr Jean-Charles MATEO-VELEZ (ONERA)04/11/2014, 16:15Activity: GSP Contractor(s): ONERA Technical Officer: David Rodgers Summary: Active electron guns or plasma emitters have been used to control spacecraft potential. The main aim of this GSP activity study was to examine whether a purely passive electron emitter could be used to control hazardous levels of spacecraft charging. The capabilities of existing low-power active emitters and...Go to contribution page
