India, April 22 -- NASA selected Synopsys Inc. and EMA to verify spacesuit compatibility with the lunar environment. This work advances Synopsys' ongoing support of future Artemis missions, which also includes a collaborative effort with Cesium, part of Bentley Systems, and NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland to validate cellular system performance on the lunar surface using digital twin technology.

The joint effort by EMA and Synopsys focuses on reducing risks to extravehicular activity (EVA) systems, specifically spacesuits, caused by both triboelectrification from lunar regolith interactions, and electrical charging and electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the space plasma environment.

Analyzing charging levels that the complex, ...
