Electrostatic Dust Analyzer (EDA) for Exploring Dust Transport Processes on the Lunar Surface

Completed NASA lunar-instrument project led by the University of Colorado Boulder that matured the Electrostatic Dust Analyzer (EDA) for in-situ measurements of electrostatically lofted lunar dust. EDA detects individual particles and characterizes their charge, velocity, mass, and flux to improve understanding of regolith transport and dust hazards for robotic and human exploration of the Moon and other airless bodies.
