Abstract;The PTFE lubricant is expected to use for Large Deployable Antenna, Paddle Deployable Mast and other Space Constructions. This paper presents friction properties of PTFE lubricant at low temperature(-150,-65deg.C) in vacuum. The tested PTFE lubricant performed good lubricating property at low temperature in vacuum. Its coefficient of frictions are 0.15 to 0.21, and also it depends upon temperature. (author abst.)
