Abstract

Apollo astronauts encountered very fine, powdery, abrasive lunar dust, which stuck to scientific instruments and caused damage and sometimes overheating and failure. To measure the effects of lunar dust, each of the first four Apollo expeditions left a set of solar cells on the Moon, and data were transmitted to Earth from 1969 to 1976.
