In order to support long duration missions on the Moon’s surface, materials resistant to the harsh lunar environment are critically needed. Lunar dust poses a major threat to the durability of components and vehicles due to its fine, jagged morphology and highly abrasive nature, which enables the particles to adhere and embed into surfaces of components and devices potentially leading to premature failure. Consequently, significant effort within NASA aims to develop novel materials and coating technologies to limit lunar dust adhesion and abrasion by exploring a variety of production routes and examining properties of candidate material systems, including ceramic, metallic and polymeric. Manufacturing methods investigated include traditional powder processing, additive manufacturing and surface modification via laser ablation patterning of bulk materials and coatings. An overview of ongoing NASA materials and coating research and development to enable lunar exploration will be presented.
