Abstract
A method is presented whereby, using the predicted spectrum of lunar soil properties in terms of the land locomotion soil value system, the performance of various vehicle configurations are analyzed. From this analysis the mission success probability may be calculated from the standpoint of vehicle immobilization, fuel consumption, torque requirements, inability to climb the required slopes, or any other desired parameter.
