A Laboratory Study of Plasma Charging Inside Lava Tubes on the Lunar Surface

The electrostatic charging environment inside lunar lava tubes was investigated in laboratory experiments using a glass tube exposed to a simulated solar wind flow. A conducting surface was attached at the entrance of the tube and biased to various negative potentials to study the electron shielding...
