Molybdenum disulfide coatings have been employed as lubricants for spacecraft since the 1950s but continue to face major engineering challenges including performance in both terrestrial air and deep space vacuum environments and service lifetimes on the order of decades without maintenance. Co‐deposition of MoS2 with additive compounds provide enhancements in some circumstances but a lubricant which...
Space Lubricants
In article number 2110429, Aurélien Saulot, Tobin Filleter, Guillaume Colas, and co‐workers engineer a high‐performance space lubricant for the extreme environments faced by spacecrafts. The co‐deposition of MoS2 with tantalum produces a synergistic effect where the tantalum preferentially oxidizes in terrestrial environments and enhances lubrication in deep space vacuum, resulting...
