Electrodynamic Dust Shield for Active Dust Mitigation of Thermal Radiators

Completed NASA Kennedy Space Center Center Innovation Fund project that improved electrodynamic dust shield technology for thermal radiators by integrating Solar White and other thermal rejection coatings. The project characterized dust removal and thermal performance to protect lunar and Martian radiator surfaces from overheating caused by dust accumulation.
