Accelerated Life Prediction Techniques.

Abstract

Exploratory development was conducted in the area of accelerated life prediction techniques for satellite despin mechanical assembly bearings and data transmission slip ring assemblies. Slip ring assemblies were instrumented and operated in a simulated space environment. Data was taken and analyzed. Bearing test rigs were set up, instrumented and operated. Studies were conducted to determine the chemical and physical properties of the commonly used space lubricant. Degradation studies of this material were also conducted. (Author)
