Paper outlines approach used for determining locomotion energy requirements for lunar surface vehicles; analytical and experimental techniques are discussed based on methods developed for mechanics of terrain-vehicle systems; factors affecting energy requirements are considered including motion resistance, vehicle speed, slip, and mechanical efficiency; motion resistance factors discussed include grade, inertia, rolling, soft soil, and obstacle resistance; some experimental results are presented to verify soundness of approach.
