Detailed performance data for the LRV'and 1G Trainer are presented In Appendix A and Appendix 8, respectively Vl DESCRIPTION The LRV system on the lunar surface consists of the LRV, the structure for fgcuring the LRV to the LM stowage bay and the mechanism for deploying the LRV from the LM onto the lunar surface. 1.2 VEHICLE SYSTEMS The LRV system is comprised of the Mobility Subsystem, Electrical Power Subsystem, Control and Display Console, Navigation Subsystem, Crew Station, Thermal Control Subsystem and Space Support Equipment. Each subsystem is described in subsequent sections to the extent necessary to understand the operation of the LAV. ***1G Trainer Notets* 1G Trainer vehicle systems are shown on Figure 1-2, Basic Date 12/4/70 Change Date _6/23/71_ Page 1-1 MissionLs006 002-24 LUNAR ROVING VEHICLE APOLLO OPERATIONS HANDBOOK O om © euesutin © sain se 1 SES ae e000 FIGURE 1-1 DEPLOYED LRV WITHOUT STOWED PAYLOAD (SHEET 1 OF 2) Nission__J Basic Date _12/4/70__Cnange Date __6/23/71_ age 1-21006-02-24 LUNAR ROVING VEHICLE OPERATIONS HANDBOOK (@ 40 2 1334S) avoTAVa G3NOLS LNOHLIN AW7 O3A0TEIO—L-L_BUNOLA -3ss_s30n79x3 “suuoadns avOTiYd S3TWRLLVE S300 7DNT« 8 NOIL¥901 “9° 1-3 6/23/71 Page 12/4/70 _ Change Date Basic Date Q Missions006-002-2H LUNAR ROVING VEHICLE OPERATIONS HANDBOOK FIGURE 1-2 16 TRAINER Dass © ran sre ® vom axe So ae Misston___J Basic Date __12/4/70__ change date _4/19/71_age 1-8Ls006-002-2H LUNAR ROVING VEHICLE ‘OPERATIONS HANDBOOK 1.3 MOBILITY suBsySTEM The mobility subsystem (figure 1-3) consists of the chassis and equipment and Controls necessary to propel, suspend, brake and steer the LAV. 1.3.1 Wheel Each wheel (figure 1-4) includes an open wire mesh tire with chevron tread covering 50 percent of the surface contact area, The tire inner frame Provides a stiff load path to accomodate high impact loads. Each wheel has a decoupling mechanism (figure 1-5, sheet 1) and can be de- coupled from the traction drive by uperating the two decoupling mechanisms which allow the wheel to "freewheel about a bearing independent of the drive train. This decoupling mechanism can also be used to re-engage the wheel with the traction drive. Decoupling disables the brake on the affected wheel. Procedure used to decouple a wheel is discussed in Section 2.9 “1G Trainer Notes*** 1. The 16 Trainer tires for primary use are pneumatic automobile tires (Figure 1-4-1). Special wire mesh wheels are also available for use with the 16 Trainer. The 16 Trainer has simulated whee? decoupling mechanisms to duplicate the LRV-to-Crew interface. Operation of this similated mechanism, however, will not effect actual decoupling. Procedures for 16 Trainer wheel decoupling are shown in Section 8. Wheel decoupling on the 16 Trainer does not dis- able the brake on the affected wheels. 1.3.1.1 Whee? Bulge Retention hen the LRV is folded for stowage in the LM the front and rear wheels are compressed together. As a result the wire mesh tends to bulge outward toward the LM quadrant. This outward bulge in the direction of the LM is controlled to prevent violation of the allowable LRV stowage envelope. Control of wheel bulge is accomplished by two wires installed in the wheels as shown in Figure 1-4.2, Upon deployment of the vehicle and unfolding of the wheels the wheel bulge retention wire is released and the wheel assumes its normal configura - tion. While driving the wheel bulge retention wires may break due to rubbing across the tire inner frame. Upon breaking these wires may come out of the inner tire and hang loose on the inside of the wheel. This is a completely Normal occurrence and will cause no detrimental operation of the LRV. asic Date 12/4/70 change Date 6/23/71 Page _1-8 Mission1.5006-002-24 LUNAR ROVING VEHICLE OPERATIONS HANDBOOK 1.3.2 Traction Drive Each LRV wheel is provided with a separate traction drive (figure 1-5), consisting of a harmonic drive gear reduction unit, drive motor and brake assembly. Each traction drive is hermetically sealed to maintain a nominal 7.5 PSIA internal pressure for improved brush lubrication. Each traction drive also contains an odometer pickup which transmits a pulse to the navi- gation subsystem at the rate of nine pulses per wheel revolution. Traction drive installation details are shown in Figure 1-6.
