清除附着在宇航服上的月球尘埃对于长期探索月球至关重要。由于月球尘埃具有磁性，因此开发了一种利用磁力的方便清洁装置。该装置可通过多极磁辊连续捕获和分离月球尘埃。观察到的分离率为90%，但捕获率较低，导致总体清洁率为40%。当大量灰尘附着在织物上时，该比率增加。虽然捕获织物纤维之间的小颗粒很困难，但该装置将能够初步清洁宇航服，节省宇航员在月球上的宝贵活动时间。
The removal of lunar dust adhering to spacesuits is essential for the long-term exploration of the Moon. Because lunar dust is magnetic, a convenient cleaning device that utilizes magnetic force has been developed. The device can capture and separate lunar dust continuously with a multipole magnetic roller. The observed separation rate was 90%, but the capture rate was low, resulting in an overall cleaning rate of 40%. The rate increased when large amounts of dust adhered to the fabric. Although it was difficult to capture small particles trapped between fabric fibers, this device will be able to preliminarily clean spacesuits and save the precious activity time of astronauts on the Moon.
