How to avoid a puncture on the Moon

To avoid punctures on the Moon and Mars, Michelin and Bridgestone are developing innovative tire technology using high-performance plastics and bio-mimicry principles, including materials like nitinol and camel-footpad-inspired designs. Extreme temperatures and rough terrain present challenges, requiring tires that can deform and recover efficiently. NASA and ESA are assessing these advancements for future space missions, aiming to create durable wheels that can withstand the harsh conditions of lunar and Martian surfaces.
