Before we return astronauts to the Moon through Artemis, NASA is studying how a lander exhaust can interact with the lunar surface, especially regolith, as it lands and takes off. At the NASA Langley Research Center, engineers have begun a series of tests to study how lander engine exhaust kick up lunar dust, soil, and rocks. All this critical data will inform systems to protect crews, landers, and nearby science instruments during future Artemis missions. Dive deeper into how this work is direc
