Future spaceports on dusty and dry planetary environments, such as the Martian or lunar environments, may be hindered by the build-up of electrostatic charge that may generate unwanted electrostatic potentials. In an effort to evaluate suitable materials for these environments, an electrometer sensor technology was developed. This technology and its associated environmental simulators have made possible the characterization of the electrostatic response of possible spaceport materials exposed to planetary regolith simulants. A ``triboelectric series'' ranking of these materials according to their electrostatic response has been developed. Some material candidates with low electrostatic response when in contact with the regolith simulants have been identified. Candidate materials for future planetary spaceports can be characterized with this technology.
