CubeSat Evaluation and Design for Tribological Testing
公开 Deposited可下载的内容
open in viewerCubeSats are versatile low-cost satellites used in academia and industry. Designing and implementing these CubeSats require careful consideration of mission objectives, electronic systems, communication setups and testing protocols. This project focuses on utilizing CubeSats for tribological testing to evaluate the performance of different lubricants for space applications. This project evaluates an existing design of a CubeSat tribometer which previously failed to meet its objectives and works to redesign it. A design twin of the space compatible CubeSat was manufactured and tribological testing was conducted, as a proof of concept, to evaluate frictional properties of lubricants. Keywords: CubeSat, Friction, Lubricants, Space, Tribometer.
