Material attributed to NASA describes how astronauts walking at the lunar South Pole accumulate electric charge on their spacesuits through tribocharging and ambient plasma charging. The problem is reported to worsen sharply in lunar shadows and Permanently Shadowed Regions, where suits can build up a substantial negative potential; the supplied context is truncated and gives no mitigation details.
