Lubricant Selection Manual, Phase 3 [PDF]

open access: yes
Future spacecraft must be designated to operate for very long time periods in space. For example, a target goal for the Space Station is 30 years of operation.

Tribological behaviour of copper oxide nanoparticle suspension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This work presents and discusses the tribological behaviour of nanoparticle suspensions in a polyalphaolefin (PAO6). CuO nanoparticles were separately dispersed at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% wt. in PAO6 using an ultrasonic probe for 2 minutes.

Liquid Space Lubricants Examined by Vibrational Micro-Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Considerable effort has been expended to develop liquid lubricants for satellites and space exploration vehicles. These lubricants must often perform under a range of harsh conditions such as vacuum, radiation, and temperature extremes while in orbit or ...

Lubrication of space systems: Challenges and potential solutions [PDF]

open access: yes
Future space missions will all require advanced mechanical moving components which will require wear protection and lubrication. The tribology practices used today are primarily based upon a technology base that is more than 20 years old. This paper will

Self-lubricating polymer composites and polymer transfer film lubrication for space applications [PDF]

open access: yes
The use of self-lubricating polymers and polymer composites in space is somewhat limited today. In general, they are only used when other methods are inadequate.
