Abstract:This paper investigates the possibility of using a high temperature superconductor (HTS) for a micro power supply in space microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Feasibility studies have been carried out to develop a micro HTS-magnet bearing system which can be used for wear prevention and as a power supply. The rationale lies in the unique capability of the HTS to adapt to low temperatures, radiation, and vacuum environments in space, and to enhance system stability passively without power consumption.
