NASA proves its electric moon dust shield works on the lunar surface

The shielding technology was tested in vacuum chambers, where it was used to remove lunar dust samples brought home by NASA's Apollo missions. The first time EDS was tested in space was on the International Space Station, during the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE)-11 mission in 2019.
