Abstract: 
The state of the preparation of the scientific equipment for realization of the space experiment «Material–Friction» is considered. The complete set of modular knots of friction under circuit designs «disk-indentor», «shaft-plug», «rolling bearing», and «gearing» is presented. Our results of the investigation of working capacity of the complete set of modular knots of friction gained in the atmosphere and vacuum with the use of various pairs of friction are given.
Keywords: disk-indentor, rolling bearing, shaft-plug
