초록

It is a time to introduce a concept of lubrication to space systems. Minimum amount of lubricant should be supplied to a contact interface instead of preparing too much lubricant on surfaces of the earth. In situ controllable lubrication method is wanted to overcome unexpected tribo-troubles in space. Tribo-coating, which forms a thin solid film in nm-scale by vacuum deposition during friction, is a promising lubrication method for space.
