Definition

Mobility technology in microgravity environments where weak gravitational fields can be leveraged as an asset (e.g., hopping platforms) or overcome as a challenge (e.g., wheeled or legged systems limited by low traction).

Application Value

微重力环境下传统move方式受限, 跳跃式平台 is 一种可行 of move方案. In lunar表面探测中, 微重力机动 of designneed考虑地形和can源constraint.
