What did O'Brien's lunar experiments primarily study?

  • Alien life

  • Water sources

  • Lunar dust

  • Moonquakes

Answer

Lunar dust was the primary focus of O'Brien's lunar experiments. This fine, abrasive material poses significant challenges for lunar exploration and human habitation. O'Brien's research aimed to understand the properties and behavior of lunar dust, including its electrostatic charging, adhesion, and mobility. By studying these characteristics, O'Brien sought to develop mitigation strategies to minimize the risks and hazards associated with lunar dust.
