Travelling long distances with maximum reliability are necessary requirements for future lunar rover missions. Rovers' mobility performance highly depends on wheel type and the mechanical properties of the terrain on which it is rolling. On the lunar surface, the terrain is primarily composed of very fine grained abrasive particles called regolith. Traditional pneumatic rubber wheels are not a viable option for planetary rovers, due to the unknown properties of rubber over a long term exposure to radiation, and the chances of failure in the near vacuum environment. Therefore, non-pneumatic non-rubber compliant wheels have been recognized as a best possible option for planetary exploration rovers.The present research thesis focuses on testin...
