Reliability Analysis of Lunar Rover Wheel Designs
Parbatani, Karim
This book presents a methodology for prediction of reliability for lunar rover wheel designs and a technique to evaluate reliability where data for operation in the lunar environment are not available in order to conduct traditional reliability analysis. The maximum distance travelled by the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during the Apollo 17 mission was approximately 35.9 km. McGill University, Neptec and the Canadian Space Agency collaborated to...
