About this award
This $750,000.00 grant award from the Shared Services Center of a civilian federal agency to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) supports research to develop a new class of hierarchical, heterogeneous nanostructured coatings that can passively mitigate the adhesion of lunar dust. The proposed research aims to construct multiphysical models, develop high-precision measurement techniques, and demonstrate the dust mitigation properties of large-area prototype structures in relevant space environments. This technology is intended to contribute towards NASA's efforts in space exploration and lunar base establishment by mitigating the adverse mechanical, electrical, and health effects of lunar dust. The award does not utilize any set-aside designations.
