New shielding technology from NASA that protects against damaging lunar dust just passed a trial run on the moon's surface, marking an important milestone in the agency's lunar aspirations.

NASA's Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) successfully demonstrated its ability to remove regolith, or lunar dust and dirt, from its various surfaces on the moon during Firefly Aerospace's Blue ...

Lunar regolith isn't just abundant—it's also clingy. Its electrostatic properties mean it sticks to anything it touches, and its abrasiveness means each tiny grain can scratch the surface of ...

A recent study indicates that water on the lunar surface may come from the solar wind. The results suggest that other airless bodies in the solar system may also have water on their surfaces ...

You can opt-out at any time. What’s more, scientific data gathered on the lunar surface will pave the way for commercial missions, said David Wheeler, Firefly general counsel. Regolith sample ...

The result of billions of years of micrometeorite impacts on the lunar surface and lack of water on the Moon has left this dust with jagged, razor-sharp shapes and the constant bombardment by ...
