BEIJING小程序开发公司资讯价格, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- China has initiated the lunar landing phase of its manned lunar exploration program, with a plan to complete a manned lunar landing by 2030. Among all the challenges faced by scientists and engineers working on the program, lunar dust is very small in size, but potentially a big threat to lunar exploration missions.
However, Chinese researchers have found a simple, fast and promising way to build an anti-dust shield by fabricating a lunar dust-repellent surface via nanosecond laser etching, according to a paper published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
LUNAR DUST THREAT
Lunar dust consists of tiny silicate particles, which are formed from lunar rocks after long-term exposure to micrometeorite impacts, solar winds and cosmic radiation. Mostly between tens to hundreds of microns in size, these particles are almost invisible to the naked eye.
Despite their small size, such particles pose a significant risk, as high temperatures generated by meteorite impacts make them vitrified, rough, sharp and electrically charged. This means they tend to stick to lunar exploration equipment and astronaut spacesuits, thereby threatening the operation of equipment and the health of astronauts.
appAccording to Wang Xiao, an author of the paper and a member of the research team from Xidian University, lunar dust can easily infiltrate gaps and bearings of mechanical equipment and continuously accumulate there, leading to increased friction, intensified wear and other difficulties in equipment operation.
Lunar dust can also lead to the failure of other parts of lunar equipment. They can cover the equipment surface, especially critical parts like radiators, preventing effective heat radiation and making the equipment either too cold or too hot.
In addition, lunar dust can stick to optical lenses or solar panels, causing a decline in image quality and the accuracy of data collection. They can also block the absorption of sunlight by solar panels, leading to insufficient power supply.

球员时代旅欧的朴柱昊推荐了前利兹联，现任加拿大队主帅马什，但委员会居然很多人不知道马什是谁。一度被认为是新帅头号热门的马什谈判失败后，朴柱昊又陆续推荐了尼科·科瓦奇、泰尔齐奇、瓦格纳、吉斯多尔（霍芬海姆）、费舍尔（柏林联合）、图赫尔等德甲背景名帅，但委员会一开始就有人力挺洪明甫，哪怕洪明甫明确拒绝，也一直在候选名单内。更令朴柱昊震惊的是：连利物浦都无法承受年薪要价2000万美元的葡萄牙名帅阿莫林，居然在韩国足协12人候选人之中，小程序开发而韩国足协外教年薪预算上限仅有200万美元！
作为80后的主教练，杨林的执教时间不算长，但足够精彩。带队从中冠冲中乙、中乙保级、中乙冲中甲、中甲保级，从生存到进阶，每一次他拿到的都是最有挑战的任务单，而且其他新派教练都是在名帅外教身边做助理教练后才上位，杨林几乎没有过渡，他始终在自我摸索。
According to Wang Weidong, leader of the Xidian University team, there are two types of anti-lunar dust technology -- namely active and passive. Active dust protection technology relies on external energy sources. Due to limited lunar energy resources and the high cost of energy generation and storage, such active technology is seldom used.
Passive technology, in contrast, can protect equipment from lunar dust by altering the surface structure, selecting materials with self-cleaning properties, or applying a dust-resistant coating to equipment. This has become an important approach due to its high efficiency, long-term reliability and energy independence.
Wang's team opted for aluminum as their chosen material, as it is lightweight, high-strength and corrosion-resistant, and then used nanosecond laser etching to prepare multi-level and micro-structure surfaces with different structural parameters.
Nanosecond laser etching is a material processing technology that utilizes ultra-short pulse lasers with a pulse duration measured in nanoseconds. One nanosecond is one-billionth of a second.
The team achieved multi-level, micro- and nano-structures by adjusting parameters including laser energy density, pulse frequency and duration, as well as scanning speed.
ANTI-DUST IMPACT
During the process of using different parameters, the team found that the aluminum surface treated with a scanning spacing of 80 microns had the smallest contact area with dust particles, thus resulting in the best anti-dust effect.
The study also found that the adhesion force of lunar dust to the aluminum surface etched by nanosecond lasers with a scanning spacing of 80 microns, is 52 percent lower than the adhesion force of lunar dust to the untreated aluminum surface.
In the same dust-raising environment, the dust coverage on the aluminum surface etched by the laser is about 85 percent less than that on the untreated aluminum surface. In addition, the accumulated dust on the laser-etched aluminum surface is easily cleaned up by a combination of flipping and gravity.
Wang Xiao revealed that the team will conduct extensive engineering tests and assessments of this technology -- hoping that it could become one of the options used for spacecraft surface protection.
If proven effective, this technology could be applied to the surfaces of lunar rovers, thermal control equipment小程序开发公司资讯价格, mechanical structures and solar panels, in order to achieve low adhesion of lunar dust, resulting in greater convenience and safety for human exploration efforts on the moon, he added. ■
