Summary
| Description | During lunar landings the rocket plume disturbs regolith, which can result in cratering, severe lunar dust blowing, and particle ejecting. During flights in March and April, Auburn University researchers gathered data on plume-surface interaction in reduced and lunar gravity conditions to better understand the underlying physics and enable safe landings. |
