Estimation of Bearing Capacity of Lunar Soil from the Depth of Tracks of the Lunokhod Wheels
Abstract
Here we describe measurements of depth of the Lunokhod-1 and 2 wheel tracks in TV panoramic images and from them estimate bearing capacity of the upper layer of lunar soil. These results are compared with those for Chinese Yutu and Yutu-2 rovers.
