NASA Confronts Electrostatic Hazard for Moonwalkers

As humanity prepares for a return to the Moon, particularly the challenging South Pole region, NASA is actively addressing a critical safety concern: the risk of electrostatic discharge for astronauts. When traversing the lunar surface, especially in permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), astronauts’ spacesuits can accumulate a significant negative electrical charge. This phenomenon is primarily driven […]
