Lunar Dust Capture Using a Novel, Multiplexed Inertial FilterMultiplexed inertial filtration is new. It holds promise to capture and contain lunar dust with less pressure drop. Even when the filter contains significant amounts of captured lunar dust, the pressure drop remains relatively low. State of the art vacuum cleaners use a system with 4 different filter: they can contain large amounts of lunar dust and maintain low pressure drop, but because they require 4 filters, the system size is relatively large. State of the are miniature vacuum cleaners are small, but the single in-line depth filter clogs easily. The goal of this CIF project is to develop a lunar dust vacuum cleaner <1000 cc in size, with high capacity and low dP.
