N2 - Lunar dust interferes with exploration of astronauts on the Moon. In this paper, a tube-shaped dust transportation device utilizing standing-wave transport was proposed. Different structures of capture and transport electrodes were introduced and compared, and simulations on capture and transport electric field and trajectory of captured dust particle were conducted respectively. Coil type device with 5mm pitch gave the best dust removal performance, a removal time of 28.8ms. This device was 107mm in length and 13.8mm in diameter, and can be easily held by hand or installed on robotic arms, providing astronauts and rovers with preliminary dust removal on the lunar surface.
