# JPL Studies Mars Dust Adhesion to Spacesuits

JPL researchers studied Mars dust sticking to spacesuit materials using Perseverance rover data. Tiny grains, less than 2.5 micrometers, were found with some as small as 100 to 300 nanometers. Static charge affects dust adhesion, offering clues for suit fabric design.
