Abstract:
This paper describes some of the key lubrication requirements associated with rocket engines and flight vehicle power equipment and the various techniques being explored to meet these requirements. Concerning rocket engines, the discussion covers the problem of standardizing a test method for determining the impact sensitivity of lubricants with liquid oxygen and the requirement for a low viscosity, high gear load oil for turbopump applications. Concerning flight vehicle power, a discussion is presented on the various methods meriting research effort in addition to conventional lubricants - such as gas bearings, vapor-lubricated bearings, liquid-metal lubricated bearings, electrostatic bearings, etc.
