Dust Mitigation for Flexible Solar Arrays
NASA Game Changing Development project DMFlex-ACO, led by Maxar with NASA Glenn Research Center, investigating vibromechanical dust mitigation for flexible solar arrays in simulated lunar environments. The completed project evaluated piezoelectric and mechanical actuation, electrostatic dust effects, vacuum testing, and electroluminescence imaging to protect power generation for tall lunar south-pole arrays.
