Lunar Rover Wheel

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lunar Rover Wheel: Metal mesh... no inner tube needed.

The tire is made of a woven mesh of zinc-coated piano wire to which titanium treads were riveted in a chevron pattern. This pattern kept the wheels from sinking into the soft lunar soil.

Suspension below. From the Lone Star Museum in Houston.
