Electrodynamic Dust Shield for Lunar/ISS Experiment

Completed NASA Kennedy Space Center Electrodynamic Dust Shield experiment for lunar and International Space Station demonstrations. The project tested traveling electric fields to repel charged dust from painted Kapton, glass, thermal radiators, camera lenses, solar panels, and other hardware, establishing a foundational active dust-mitigation path for space applications.
