Abstract
In recent years, prominent spacefaring nations have redirected their attention towards the Moon as a potential avenue for economic prospects and as a pivotal waypoint for extended space exploration endeavors. Nonetheless, a notable concern has emerged regarding the dispersion of lunar dust during lunar landings, a phenomenon that has been associated with documented instances of equipment damage during prior missions. To mitigate these challenges, leading research institutions are actively engaged in endeavors aimed at minimizing the adverse effects of dust dispersal during lunar and extraterrestrial landings. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of ongoing research and development endeavors focusing on the interaction dynamics between rocket plumes and lunar surfaces, along with the resultant dispersion of lunar dust triggered by rocket plume impingement. Additionally, it presents research efforts aimed at developing lunar dust mitigation technologies.
期刊介绍：
Acta Astronautica is sponsored by the International Academy of Astronautics. Content is based on original contributions in all fields of basic, engineering, life and social space sciences and of space technology related to:
The peaceful scientific exploration of space,
Its exploitation for human welfare and progress,
Conception, design, development and operation of space-borne and Earth-based systems,
In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes selected proceedings of the annual International Astronautical Congress (IAC), transactions of the IAA and special issues on topics of current interest, such as microgravity, space station technology, geostationary orbits, and space economics. Other subject areas include satellite technology, space transportation and communications, space energy, power and propulsion, astrodynamics, extraterrestrial intelligence and Earth observations.
