MIT engineers examine the idea of ​​lifting a rover into the air using the moon’s natural charge

Priyankan Zone – Aerospace engineers are always looking for new ways to support their experiments on the moon and asteroids. One of the major obstacles to their operation is the lack of energy sources to keep the equipment in use for a long time.

Hence, the researchers With A new concept is being tested to use the moon’s natural payload to suspend it in the air. In the absence of the atmosphere, the Moon and asteroids form electric fields by direct contact with the Sun. On the Moon, this strong surface charge can emit more than a meter of dust from the Earth.

It works in the same way that static electricity causes human hair to stand on end.

“With the hovering rover, you do not have to worry about wheels or moving parts,” said Paulo Lozano, co-author of the study. With News, Friday, December 31, 2021.

Lozano said of the asteroid’s topography, it may be quite uneven, but as long as there is a controlled mechanism to keep the rover afloat, it will be able to navigate very hard and unknown areas without physically hitting the asteroid.

Engineers work NASA In addition, other space agencies have recently suggested that gliders be towed using the moon’s natural payload, whose wings will be made of mylar, with a payload similar to the surface on an airtight body.

Their idea is based on the proven theory that similarly charged surfaces can move away from each other, which allows the glider to remain in the air.
