Simulations on Levitation and Spatial Distribution of Charged Dust on the Moon Surface

The levitation of charged dust, which may cause serious hazards to astronauts and lunar rovers, has been one of the most significant challenges in lunar exploration. Here we simulate lunar sheath potentials in different solar wind conditions and solar zenith angles (SZAs) on the lunar surface by the...
