Hewitt-Trussville High School Engineering Academy seniors Jacob Lee, Ben Capps and Wes Ellison have been working on a device that could be utilized to clean solar panels on the moon. They had to research the properties of lunar dust and determine the best method for removing the dust from solar panels without scratching the panels. The team had to pass a preliminary design review and a critical design review with NASA in order to progress to the presentation level. This team was chosen to present its project solution to NASA engineers at the Houston Space Center.
