In Phase I, We Made Prototype Sliding Bearings From Functionally-graded, Diamond-coated Carbon-fiber Reinforced Composite. In Dry-sliding Experiments, The Friction Of The Diamond-coated Composites Against Lunar Dust Simulant Was Low And The Wear Was So Small That It Could Not Be Detected. In Contrast, All Other Tested Materials Experienced Rapid Abrasive Wear. These Tests Demonstrate That Diamond-coated Com$600K
