内容記述 | The primary objective of the presentation is to identify a set of experiments to activate the lunar dust and monitor the mode of deactivation process using various analytical methods. To satisfy the objective, a large set of experiments will be carried out using lunar dust stimulant (JSC-1a-vf obtained from Dr. V. Carter from University of Texas at Dallas) to optimize the methodology. After refining the methodology to carry out the experiments using the simulant, real lunar dust will be used to obtain the necessary results. The secondary objective of the presentation is to identify a set of experiments to assess the potential toxicity of the dust using cellular systems. One of the cell lines that we identified is WI-38 human lung cell line. |
