ABSTRACT:
The Mechanical Components Branch at NASA Glenn Research Center hosted a workshop on Tuesday, May 14, 2002, to discuss space mechanisms technology. The theme for this workshop was "Working in the Cold," a focus on space mechanisms that must operate at low temperatures. We define "cold" as below -60 ¡C (210 K), such as would be found near the equator of Mars. However, we are also concerned with much colder temperatures such as in permanently dark craters of the Moon (about 40 K).
