Abstract The transmission mechanism of the spacecraft payload often lacks backup. However, if the mechanism loses efficacy in virtue of the lubricants deteriorating, the payload might be deprived of the function. It makes liquid lubricating materials becoming an important material to ensuring the reliability of the transmission mechanisms in view of the single point failure mode on the spacecraft payload. Therefore, to meet the needs of developing a new generation of spacecraft activity mechanisms, the comprehensive performance of the liquid lubrication materials should be improved, perhaps new efficient liquid lubrication materials should also be developed. Based on the above, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the liquid lubricating materials widely used in space. The methods for improving the performance of various types of liquid lubricants are summarized, and the application status of the space liquid lubricant are also analysed. So that the development and the challenges of space liquid lubricants are emphasised for the implementation of high-performance spacecraft payload transmission mechanisms in future.
