Future lunar/planetary explorations will involve various operations related to regolith-machine interactions (Terramechanics). This working group tackles researches on the "Lunar/Planetary Terramechanics" for unmanned exploration vehicles. The main goals of this work are: 1) to develop a theory and simulator of regolith-wheel systems in low gravity environment through the parabolic flight experiments; and 2) to contribute the theory to designing of space equipments for future Lunar/Mars surface operations.
