Lunar Dust

We shall return on the moon soon !

On the 20th of July, it is the opportunity to commemorate internationally the first moon landing of human beings for #Apollon11 mission.

For the next #2024 #Artemis #moon expedition of NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration, our teams are working on a device that will remove the lunar dust from glass surfaces, especially of astronauts’ helmets, lenses or optical objectives with ONERA – The French Aerospace Lab.

This project is under a programme of Dust Removal and Cleaning of Optical Surfaces and Seals in Lunar Environments, and funded by, the European Space Agency – ESA.

Many thanks to Capucine Moulas who designed this illustration !
