The Martian dust is a serious threat to the spacecraft and rover. It would hinder the functioning of equipment and limit mission duration. The paper introduces a system, which uses supersonic gas jet formed by a Laval nozzle to blow off the accumulated dust. The related parameters have been investigated and the flow fluid field has been simulated.
