Wheel-regolith interactions on small-body surfaces
Résumé
We conduct experiments using a single-wheel testbed and simulations using the Soft-Sphere Discrete Element Method to study wheel-regolith interactions on small-body surfaces. We analyze wheel sinkage and traction on different surface materials and we discuss the influence that lowgravity has on rover maneuverability.
