No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

A team from the Georgia Institute of Technology has been selected for the 2021 competitive Breakthrough, Innovative, and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge and the Space Grant project.
"Hybrid Dust Mitigation Brush Utilizing EDS and UV Technologies"
A hybrid brush which utilizes electrodynamic dust shielding and ultraviolet technologies to remove lunar regolith from spacesuits and other applicable surfaces. The brush bristles contain electrodes that attract charged lunar regolith particles and clear them off the suit. Remaining, uncharged regolith particles are charged by ultraviolet emitters to enable removal by the system.
