"Future Moon Missions: Astronauts to Wear Electric Field Spacesuits and Construction Company to Use 3D Printers with Moon Dust"

NASA is funding the development of a new moon spacesuit fabric called LiqMEST (Liquid Metal Electrostatic Protective Textile) that aims to repel lunar dust and prevent it from damaging spacesuits. The fabric, being developed at Hawai'i Pacific University, uses electrostatic forces to keep the corrosive moon dust away. This technology is crucial for NASA's Artemis program, which plans to land astronauts on the moon in the 2020s. The fabric is expected to provide flexibility and protection in rugged conditions, and if successful, it could be used for spacesuits and fabric covers for lunar equipment during moon missions.
