Electric Motors in space
Electric Motors in space
(OP)
Hello Guys, I have popped over from the Motors and Controls forum in the hope I can perhaps get some information and advice from you. I work for a large Electric motor repair company in the UK and I have been asked, well ordered! to compile a feature for our in-house magazine. The subject I am researching is Electric-motors used in space and space vehicles. Any links or information would be greatly appreciated as I am finding it difficult to find anything on the Net.
Many Thanks
Many Thanks

On a bit more technical front, NASA has prepared a guideline called the Space Mechanisms Guidebook. Some of the book is available publicly online. Some is ITAR restricted so if you really need it you will have to submit an application and prove that you are a US citizen, that you work for a US based company and a few other things that are a pain so if you don't really need it, don't grab it. The public version is available at the following URL.

The public version has information about a lot of mechanisms including motors, although information on lubricants, bearings and a few other areas related to motors are not contained in the motor section, so you may have to selectively search the document. Cheers
