The Movave, CA company has just received a NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Phase I grant to develop an innovative method to mitigate damaged due to abrasion from high-velocity regolith ejected by lunar lander exhaust. Masten’s Flight Alumina Spray Technique (FAST) injects alumina particles into the rocket plume to create a coating over the regolith at the landing site.
