Abstract

This study demonstrates the visualization and recovery of the 3D dynamic trajectories of charged microparticles in electric field conditions. The main aim of this work is to simulate plasma-dust processes above the surfaces of the Moon and other Solar system bodies without atmospheres. The experimental setup includes two parts: a vacuum chamber, in which microparticles imitate lunar dust dynamics under electrostatic field conditions, and a stereo camera system for image registration combined with laser and optics for illuminating the investigation volume. Image processing techniques for estimating the 3D particle trajectory were developed. Examples of processing results and their prospective application are discussed.
