As we return to the Moon with Artemis, hardware will inevitably be exposed to lunar dust. Encountering the surface of a dusty planetary body brings significant hazards to the hardware. A team of subject matter experts across NASA were brought together to create a standard for addressing the best means of performing ground testing of hardware and systems to guard against the expected negative effects that dust may bring. This effort resulted in NASA-STD-1008: Classifications and Requirements for Testing Systems and Hardware to be Exposed to Dust in Planetary Environments. The NASA Technical Standard went through an Agency wide review and was approved for public release in September 2021.
