Apollo, the Lunar Dust and NASA's Dirty Problem

Ғылым және технология

Sometimes the smallest things can be one of the biggest headaches. During the Apollo missions of 1969 to 72, the tiny particles of lunar dust turned out to be a major issue.

Described as being as fine as talc but as rough as sandpaper, it also has properties that make it dangerous for both men and machines and has been cited as a bigger problem for future astronauts than radiation by some scientists.
The lunar surface is covered in a thin layer of dust which has been created by the bombardment of meteorites and micrometeorites over millions of years. These smash into the moon's surface at speeds up to 12 miles or 20km per second, heating and pulverising rocks and dirt, which contain silica and metals such as iron. Some of the dust is melted in the extreme heat of the impacts which creates tiny glass beads as the silica melts which then flash freezes and falls back to the surface.
This continual smashing, shatters the silica and other minerals to produces finer and finer grains of dust but because there is no weathering on the moon like there is on earth, the edges of these tiny shards which are not only very hard, they remain very sharp and jagged which makes it incredibly abrasive and potentially damaging to anything it sticks to
NASA had an idea about the dust before the manned moon missions from the previous surveyor landers but it quickly became apparent that once men were there the dust was far more of a problem than was first thought.
In fact before the missions started some scientists thought that because the dust had not been on contact with oxygen, that it may spontaneously combust if exposed to air. Before the departure of Apollo 11 from the moon, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had to carry out a rather ad-hoc experiment to see if the dust was safe to bring back in the lunar lander in an air environment.
They got a grab sample of dust and went back to the lander, they placed some on the engine cover of the ascent module, then they closed the hatch and re-pressurized the cabin, whilst looking out to see if the dust started to smoke, luckily it didn’t and they got on with the departure. Aldrin said that it if had, they would have stopped the pressurisation, opened the hatch and thrown it out.
We’ve seen the astronauts bouncing around the moon’s surface and getting covered in lunar dust. They found that the dust sticks to everything it comes into contact with from the sun visors on the helmets, to gauges and dials, tools and more importantly things like seals on the spacesuits and containers for bringing back rock samples.
The dust is electrically charged by the bombardment of charged particles from the sun and this is what makes it stick to anything it lands on.
During Apollo 17, crewmembers Harrison “Jack” Schmitt and Gene Cernan had reported that the dust was making it difficult for them to move their arms around during the moonwalks because it had got into the joints of their space suits. ............

So to discover a channel like this, that provides so much background stuff I have either, never heard of, or never thought about, is really interesting!

    If you really want to go deep review the debriefings The Lunar Surface Journal post the transcripts after each EVA. Of course if your interest is lunar geology Apollo 17 features Jack Schmitt. Years ago, I ordered for a small fee, from NASA the final debriefings. These final debriefings were classified after flights for about a decade. The reason being to prevent the Soviets from learning about critical procedures. I think the idea was to let the commie bastards figure stuff on their own!

    That is false. They went back and looked at the study. They found the sample size was a math trick. As they only sampled 2000 college educated idiots. While taking a non educated sample of 2 Million. You're going to get a higher rate with the "Largest Sample Size" when compared to the fractional rate of College people. Never mind the study was based on 5 conspiracy theories. Which people picked at least 1. That being the JFK assassination. Which only 20% believe was just Oswald. So stop repeating assertions. That are known to be myths....

    "Huh, seems like the Moon is a more dangerous place than I imagined" I know! What the moon dust did to those space suits, the amount of wear on the Apollo 17 moon suits after just THREE DAYS! They had a lot more close calls and "minor" things like this happen than we were ever told. Those things are NOT in the history books. You have to read the biographies, whatever the astronauts admitted to, and the mission debriefings which are long and tedious. Of course, they're not going to tell you a bunch of things unless you ask the question directly! Remember, these men had families and the last thing they did was tell their wives and children everything that could have gone wrong and there were things like the moon dust they weren't absolutely sure of until they got onto the Moon and experienced those situations for the first time! Slow leaking and seal compromising is not a comforting thought when the only thing keeping you away from death in under a minute is the space suit around you... They'll have to engineer these things better for when people DO go back to the Moon. The Apollo suits are NOT good enough if they want people to stay up there for months and years. A lot of technology is going to have to be reinvented!

Odd how the plaque left on the Moon reads _Here men from the Planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon_ _July 1969AD_ _We Came In Peace For All Mankind_ and how odd that the narrator has a British accent, but that probably because he's British with an interest in the Apollo program. And that the samples brought back have made their way all over the world. If you are really that small minded that it just has to be an American narrator, then the Apollo missions are wasted on you.

    This stuff reminds me of diatomaceous earth and its effect on very small creatures such as bugs and worms. DE is made of very tiny remains of shelled animals from thousands of years ago. The particles are incredibly sharp, like ceramic scalpels. To a human, they are so tiny, they do almost nothing. In fact, there are some kinds of DE that humans can eat ("Food Grade DE"). So to humans or most pets, DE is no big deal. To bugs, it is lethal. For them it is like rolling around in a bin of razor blades. It kills bugs by cutting them and essentially bleeding/dehydrating them.

    @@venomman01 The environmental variables are different on the moon. There is virtually no atmosphere and 1/6th gravity. 1/6th gravity means that your thrust requirements for a safe landing are also 1/6th what they would be on earth. If you look at pics from Apollo 17, you can see a brown smudge under the lander where the landing motor cooked and discolored lunar dust. Some dust would have been scattered radially as well, but not nearly as much as would be observed on earth - again because of the lower thrust requirements. Also there is no dust "cloud" after the landing because there is no atmosphere to capture, decelerate, and circulate dust particles - they would just move away from the landing site on a ballistic path. Check out the videos and images of China's robotic moon landing missions and you'll see that they are virtually identical to what we saw with Apollo.

    To those of you how don’t believe we went to the moon. You say no stars in the photos the (cathode tube) cameras in use in those days until the 90’s then it went to the CCD cameras (charge-coupled device) digital cameras. Now saying that the cathode cameras took a lot of light to get an image worked very poorly in low light the STARS did not give enough light for the cameras to get image of the stars. As for landing there I’m sorry that your ignorance is getting in the way to seeing the truth. The hardware is there descent stage of the L.E.M. 6 of them. Three lunar rovers sitting there the tire tracks and the foot prints yes the footprints if we humans did not put those foot prints on the MOON how did the foot prints get put their some aliens (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) or something. Just look at the Japanese moon probe Kaguya (direct from the moon) on KZread shows the landing sites. The china sent one of theirs probes shows the landing sites India’s footage from their satellite probe shows the landing sites. Do you think they all are in this conspiracy together? Russia was our adversary in the space race they didn’t cry fraud, fake, hoax at all, because they tracked the craft to the moon and listened to the radio and watched TV broadcast knew where it was coming from they had to position there satellite dish to the moon to receive the signal.

    Wonder no more. No one has ever, nor will they ever experience "Moon Dust" in real life. The fact of the matter is this... The Apollo Manned Space Program is a ginormous hoax! Not knowing a radiation belt exists will not excuse one from its effects. Simply tossing an aluminum can through it would not prove fair to any crew. Hospitals have walls lined with lead, use lead glass while techs, patients and staff protect themselves with lead aprins for ridiculously low (and minimal time) exposure. So, how is it NASA, upon the realization of the MASSIVE radiation belts, is faced with the dacades old canundrum of developing a craft suitable for human passage? No human has ever (and will likely never) even get close to the belts. Forget the chance of ever getting through... Never happened!!! NASA is blowing Fairy Dust! Hense, the new program which sits comfortably within our own atmosphere. We're stuck in this dome, for good...

Due to the small particle size the dust would be able to penetrate further into the lungs. I would also imagine that there would be better OHS procedures these days to reduce exposure (proposed Mars rover has suits positioned externally to reduce dust contamination.

    The only way dust could enter into the internals of the camera and do some damage to the film whould have been during the change of a film magazine. Well, you do not change a film magazine while hopping arund in the middle of a dust cloud. And you also do not wipe across the sealing element, when it is not neccessary. Oh and of course you do not change a film magazine by laying everything on the (dusty) floor. On the other hand there is lierally no way, to fill a container with dusty stones without getting some dust on the sealing rubber surfaces of the container which is standing on the ground with the lid open. Wipeing that dust away with a dirty glove in the absence of the possibility of blowing at it just makes matters worse. So you just leave it there and hope for the best regarding the 100% air tight sealing of the container. Oh. And 1 or 2 or 3 grains of dust on the lense are usually no problem at all. Even today the recommendation ist: If you don't have the right equipment handy, just leave it there. You will not see them on the photo due to something which is called "depth of field". Moving it around with some sort of cloth will only do damage to the coating of the lens. The problem is, that even basic knowlegde of photograhy seems to get lost since we do have cameras where you just press a button and everything else is done by electronics.

    This question comes out of a lack of scientific understanding. The radiation in the van allen belts is not ionizing, meaning that it's not damaging to humans. Just like your smartphone won't give you cancer, even though it emits radiation. The radiation given out by a smartphone is in the form of radio waves. The only type of radiation that can harm humans is gamma radiation, which has the smallest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. The van allen belts are not made of gamma rays.

    1. In the time of the Apollo missions, health and safety regulations were practically non-existent for astronauts. The Saturn V rocket was a hastily, poorly designed rocket that was extremely dangerous. NASA was willing to subject the astronauts to that little radiation, if it wouldn't hurt them. Since then, health and safety regulations are more strict, so they need shielding. 2. The Orion capsule is designed to carry all sorts of cargo and humans out of low earth orbit. This could include sensitive equipment, such as radiation measuring probes, which could be damaged permanently by that small amount of radiation. Also, we currently live in a day of efficiency. To avoid the worst of the radiation, the Apollo missions had to go to the outskirts of the van Allen belts. This was horribly inefficient. It would be more efficient to go straight through with shielding, which means more left over fuel, which means longer range.

If they have to lie to support a claim, they are demonstrating that they don't research anything on their own, and were gullible and stupid enough to be fooled by some other hoaxtard. They landed. *Six times.* Q.E.D. .
