Research abstract
Dust poses unique challenges in space missions. This proposal addresses the development of an advanced self-cleaning staged dust filter for spacecraft air purification in cabin and airlock chambers. This technology is compact and autonomous, has low power requirement and is effective for various types of dust including the particulate matter derived from materials, ECLSS and other processes, and biological matter and debris generated by the crew, and lunar dust intrusion. Phase I research focuses on the design, construction and testing to determine the feasibility of this system in filtering simulated dust from air at atmospheric pressure.
