美国国家航空航天局(NASA)启动月球地面挑战赛以应对静电放电(ESD)防护
NASA正在启动月球接地挑战,以寻找在月球南极地区进行舱外活动(EVA)时安全释放宇航员高电荷积累的解决方案,并提供最高150,000美元的奖金。
为什么重要. 宇航员必须安全地与着陆器进行交互,而不会损坏他们的宇航服或电子设备。

Through the Lunar Grounding Challenge, NASA is seeking innovative designs and operational solutions to provide a lunar bringing to equilibrium capability to safely discharge a suited astronaut from high triboelectric charge buildup during lunar surface EVAs in the South Pole. This challenge seeks innovative concepts for an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) mitigation solution to neutralize the astron…
As an astronaut traverses the lunar South Pole, tribocharging from walking on the lunar surface and plasma charging from the ambient plasma generate electric charge on the spacesuit. This problem is severely compounded when entering lunar shadows and Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs). In these dark zones, the spacesuit can buildup a substantial negative potential due to a lack of ambient ion fl…
