A lunar roving vehicle is of great significance in the processing of manned lunar exploration for long-duration space exploration missions. The mechanical model of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel directly affects the mobility performance. However, the wheel of lunar roving vehicle is a special one with the metal mesh surface, and the soil can penetrate through its surface. In this paper, the mechanical model of a rigid normal wheel is deduced, and four stress correction coefficients are introduced to obtain the mechanical model of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel. These four stress correction coefficients are identified in several groups of experiment of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel, and using the functional coefficients can have a high precision for the mechanical model of the lunar roving vehicle’s wheel.
