To achieve excellent mobility performance, a four-wheel, all-wheel drive lunar rover with diameter-variable wheel was presented, the wheel can be contracted and extended by the motor equipped in the wheel hub, accompanied with wheel diameter varying from 200mm to 390mm. The wheel sinkage and drawbar pull force were predicated with terramechanics formulae and lunar regolith mechanic parameters employed, furthermore, the slope traversability was investigated through quasi-static modeling mechanic analysis, also the obstacle resistance and the maximum negotiable obstacle height for different wheel radius were derived from the equations of static equilibrium of the rover. Analysis results show that for the innovation lunar rover presented, it will bring much better slope traveling stability and obstacle climbing capability than rovers with normal wheels, these will improve the rover mobility performance and stabilize the rover's frame, smooth the motion of sensors.
