<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheel for a celestial object traveling vehicle capable of securing a sufficient ground contact length while suppressing the generation of buckling on the assumption that the number of a sliding parts is small, and the wheel is light in weight. <P>SOLUTION: The wheel 1 for the celestial object traveling vehicle includes: a hub body 3 connected to an axle of the vehicle; a ground contact body 5 positioned externally in a radial direction of the wheel with respect to the hub body 3; a plurality of connection bodies 7 disposed between the hub body 3 and the ground contact body 5, and making the ground contact body 5 elastically deformed internally in the radial direction of the wheel based on an external load in the radial direction of the wheel; and a tension providing means 11 arranged at least one of the connecting body 7 and the grounding body 5, imparting tension in a circumferential direction of the wheel to the ground contact body 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
