ABSTRACT:
This chapter focuses attention on tribology technology practice related to vacuum tribology and space tribology. Twocase studies describe aspects of real problems in sufficient detail for the engineer and the scientist to understand the tribological situations and the failures. The nature of the problems is analyzed and the range of potential solutions is evaluated. Courses of action are recommended.
