A rover includes a suspension configured to traverse uneven and unpredictable terrain, such as for example on an astronomical body. Each wheel is independently suspended off of the rover chassis with a linkage assembly comprising a pair of canted links which are able to continuously rotate relative to each other without collision or interference. The links allow the rover to independently adjust the height of each wheel relative to the chassis to drive over difficult terrain, and further allow the linkage assembly at each wheel to rotate 360° to effectively step or walk over particularly difficult terrain.
