We have designed an experiment to investigate the induction charging and charge decay characteristics of lunar dust particles. The induction and charge decay characteristics of granular materials depend on the surface resistivity of the material. Since the surface resistivity properties of hydrophilic materials can be easily controlled with humidity, we have conducted initial experiments with borosilicate glass beads in a 20 kV constant electric field at various humidities in a controlled environmental chamber. We report on the results of these initial experiments.
