SPACE BRAKES: ENGINEERING FOR EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

Space Brakes: Engineering for Extreme Environments

Whether they're used in satellites, within an actuator in a spacecraft, or in other outer space systems, brakes play a vital role in successful space missions.  

Space is an extremely challenging environment to operate in; the actuators within motion control systems must withstand strong vibrations, shock loads, and extreme temperature variations, among other punishing conditions.

This eBook will outline key criteria and considerations of brakes designed to operate in these extreme environments, including:

  • Applications of brakes in space
  • Challenges and considerations when engineering brakes for space
  • Key factors of brake design for space conditions
