Sound
Scientific paper
For over 30 years, ESTL, through the financial and technical support of ESA and ESTEC, has provided a unique service to the European space industry by ensuring the reliability of the moving parts of spacecraft mechanisms through the application of sound tribology. ESTL's activities range from fundamental measurements of adhesion, friction and wear of material couples to the full qualification and life-testing of primary spacecraft mechanisms. In all cases, test work is carried out under conditions that simulate the thermal and vacuum conditions that prevail in the space environment. Occasionally there have arisen specific measurement requirements which have proved challenging under the constraints imposed by thermal- vacuum conditions. How ESTL has met some of its more demanding test requirements, and the significance of the test results obtained, is the subject of this paper.
