Study on Design Method of Landing Gear for Lunar Lander

Min Luo

Abstract

Landing gear is a key component for soft-landing exploration on the Moon or planet,which determines directly the success of soft-landing exploration mission.Based on the functions and characteristics of landing devices,this paper presents a design guideline which consists of concept design,scheme comparison,scheme confirmation,detailed analysis,and test verification.The design method of each step is also shown,which combines the research experience from soft-landing gear designs of lunar lander.The landing gear design method and process can be used as a reference to soft-landing and buffer gear design in the subsequent deep space exploration missions.
