- 요약Lunar research holds a pivotal role in the field of space sciences and engineering (SSE). The Moon serves as a key site for research on the origins and evolution of the universe, acts as a steppingstone for future deep space exploration, ignites technological advancements and inspires a new generation of engineers and scientists. As lunar exploration programs advance, the complexity of challenges related to lunar landings, such as plume surface interactions (PSI), persist. PSI occurs when a lander's rocket exhaust plume interacts with the surface causing lunar regolith to be ejected at high-velocities. This ejecta poses significant hazards for lunar missions, as the regolith particles can disrupt the landing process, disturb the surface and damage hardware. Understanding PSI and developing mitigation strategies are essential for ensuring safe and reliable lunar landings critical to future Moon exploration. Advancements in the field not only depend on technology but also recognizing and embracing the human element in technical research. To effectively address complex lunar challenges and other space-related issues, the SSE field must continuously evolve by building a sustainably inclusive and equity-centered community. By incorporating various perspectives and experiences from individuals of all backgrounds, the field can leverage a rich array of knowledge to tackle these complex challenges. Therefore, this dissertation highlights the significance of lunar PSI research and the important role that society and culture play in space sciences and engineering. It explores specific scientific and engineering approaches to characterize and mitigate PSI and presents strategies to create a more inclusive and equity-centered field. The first chapter of the dissertation details the development of the Particle Impact Event (PIE) sensor, an instrument designed to characterize PSI by collecting real-time flight data for a deeper understanding of the process. This sensor measures the kinetic energy and flux of ejecta during landings, to quantify the potential damage and total regolith displacement caused by PSI. Within this chapter, the science motivation, instrument requirements, instrument overview, and test plans are discussed as the PIE sensor progresses toward its initial launch. The following chapter addresses the issue of PSI navigation interference during landing with the development of ARC-LIGHT, Algorithm for Robust Characterization of Lunar Surface Imaging for Ground Hazards and Trajectory, a machine learning-based sensor fusion system. ARC-LIGHT integrates data from existing cameras, lidars, and radars on landers and removes erroneous signals to provide accurate detection of surface features during the final landing phase when PSI effects are most severe. This chapter further explicates the feasibility of this technology, validated through a prototype algorithm trained on data from an experimental test bed simulating a dusty environment. The final chapter of the dissertation explores the often-overlooked role of society and culture in SSE, emphasizing the need to create a more inclusive and equity-centered field. It examines the persistent underrepresentation of Latine students and, using an autoethnographic approach, analyzes various case studies focused on K-12 education, outreach, equity-centered training, mentorship, and community building. Findings demonstrate that building an SSE identity, valuing recognition and performance-competence, incorporating communal strength, and researching the importance of societal and cultural connections in SSE serve as guiding principles to ensure Latine students, researchers, and professionals succeed. To implement these principles, several strategies were developed, focusing on leveraging funds of knowledge and home and community resources, amplifying local and global heritage, and integrating cross-disciplinary perspectives.
