Abstract:

The trafficability of CE-3 Lunar rover can be evaluated by the sinkage of the wheels. In this research, the static and dynamic sinkage tests were conducted. The results show that the apparent sinkage is smaller than actual sinkage, and the difference of sinkage is affected by the slip ratio, wheel load and the regolith conditions. The maximal difference of sinkage was 19.8mm and the minimal difference was 3.7mm. A prediction model of the sinkage difference was built according to the test data, and verified by the field test of CE-3 rover. Results show that the accuracy of model 3 is 85%, and the accuracy of model 4 is 84.5%. The results are helpful to evaluate the trafficability and to plan the path for the CE-3 and CE-4 rovers.

Key words: vehicle engineering, lunar rovers, sinkage, mesh-wheel, soil bin test
