Private moon mission to carry NASA electric moon dust shield in 2024

Two images; the one on the left shows a small rectangle of glass covered in black dust; the one on the right shows a clear circle with no dust on the same glass rectangle.

Let's be honest — many of us hate dusting. 

But at least even as thick the dust coating might be around the house, with one fell swoop of duster, the particles are wiped away and the surface is clean again. Unfortunately, for our astronauts and spacecraft, dust poses much more of a threat on other bodies such as on the moon and Mars due to the harsh, 'sticky' nature of the dust on those worlds.
