It’s not really going to be that much of an issue, we’ve proven time and time again with our various rovers that dust is a minor issue for equipment that has been pretty much solved.
Crewed systems are also being developed as to reduce dust exposure, and the actual risk is minimal. It was an issue for Apollo because we didn’t know the severity of the problem until we got there. We now know what the surface is like, and so, we can plan ahead.
