Gears are performing successfully on wide range of applications on space vehicles under conditions of tooth loading, speed, or environment, considered impossible 15 yr ago; gear teeth are subject to failure by tooth breakage, pitting of contacting surface, and scoring or seizure and abrasive wear of contacting surfaces; all of these failure modes have "scatter" pattern; schematics of scatter band; comparison of earth environment conditions to environment conditions that may exist in space; some of unusual vibrations that may occur in rocket gears are shown.
