Abstract

According to the lunar surface DEM (digital elevation model) data, combined with the various constraints of rover, such as the terrain, illumination, obstacles, mobile performance, the areas which can work on were analyzed and were expressed as different suitability. The terrain suitability, temperature suitability, illumination suitability, energy suitability, and communications suitability of the lunar surface are introduced at first. Then a comprehensive suitability evaluation was analyzed by applying the fuzzy logic method. The lunar surface environment was analyzed more comprehensively. Suitability will provide the basis for lunar teleoperation.
