Evaluation of a Commercial MoS<sub>2</sub> Dry Film Lubricant for Space Applications

Molybdenum disulfide coatings, particularly Microseal 200-1, have been extensively used as dry film lubricants for actuating mechanisms in space applications. Although Microseal 200-1 has historically been a popular choice for space missions, recent assessments indicate a need for reexamination. Thi...
