In-situ resource utilization on the Moon and/or Mars is a cutting-edge hotspot for exploring
outer space. Lunar/Martian regolith is an in-situ natural resource for construction habitats …

Abstract Space Resource Utilisation (SRU) technology will enable further exploration and
habitation of space by humankind. The production of oxygen on the Moon is one of the first …

Electrostatic cleaning equipment has been developed to remove dust from the surface of
soiled solar panels. When a high AC voltage is applied to the parallel screen electrodes …

To facilitate the collection of lunar regolith for lunar base construction, the use of a bucket
drum has emerged as an efficient and convenient method. This paper aimed to investigate …

This paper attempts to present a comprehensive review of adhesion and locomotion
technology for exploring small celestial bodies (SCBs). The long-term landing, adhesion …

Successful sampling on asteroids is challenging due to their weightless environment and
unknown material mechanical properties. This work presents a sweeping and grinding …

The controlled movement of dry particles using non-mechanical means is desirable in a
number of different applications, including solar panel dust mitigation, toner particle motion …

In recent years, small celestial bodies (SCBs) exploration missions have attracted extensive
attention. For the purposes of space resource exploitation and earth defense, revealing the …

The existence of water (ice) has been discovered in the polar regions of the Moon, and it is
expected to be used to support life for astronauts and to provide the raw material of …

Electrostatic travelling waves can be used to transport small particles across a surface. This
technology has received particular attention for dust mitigation on solar panels and for …
