Satellites, which usually have a lot of solid-lubricated parts, are stored on the ground for a long period before they are launched. During this storage period, degradation of solid lubricants induced by an air atmosphere becomes a major issue. But it is not clear how much influence these storage environments, especially humidity and temperature, have on solid lubricants. In this research, we stored typical solid lubricants for prescribed periods at constant humidity and temperature, and evaluated the effects of storage environments on their tribological properties by conducting pin-on-disk friction tests and XPS surface analysis. Noticeable differences resulted from environmental conditions were obtained.
