A vast amount of information has been published on the testing of molybdenum disulphide materials for space use. It seems probable that most if not all American satellites and spacecraft have contained some application of molybdenum disulphide, and a number of space applications are listed in Table 1.1. A notable early example was its use on the extendible legs of the Apollo Lunar Module in 1969. Application of molybdenum disulphide in more conventional bearing systems is described in Chapters 9 to 13, but the wide variety of lubricant uses is shown in Table 1.2 by a list of applications not described in more detail elsewhere in the book.
