Liquid/grease formulations with polyalphaolefins, multiply alkylated cyclopentanes, and silahydrocarbons, for space applications were prepared and their properties determined. Research is reported on improved base fluids and ultra low volatility boundary lubrication/lubricity additives to provide reliable, long life for momentum devices for satellites. Four-ball and reciprocating tribometer methods, in a nitrogen environment, have demonstrated significant, improved lubrication performance of the candidate lubricants.
