This paper puts forward a high-precision and high-dynamic landing buffer test method based on the principle of magnetic quasi-zero stiffness. Firstly, the micro-low-gravity simulation system for the lunar vehicle was designed. The dynamic model of the system and a position control method based on fuzzy PID parameter tuning were established. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the system were analyzed through joint simulation. At last, a prototype of the lunar vehicle\u2019s vertical constant force support system was built, and a micro-low-gravity landing buffer test was carried out. The results show that the simulation results were in good agreement with the test results. The sensitivity of the system was better than 0.1%, and the constant force deviation was 0.1% under landing impact conditions. The new method and idea are put forward to improve the micro-low-gravity simulation technology of lunar vehicles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23073458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T03:01:14Z","timestamp":1679886074000},"page":"3458","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Theoretical and Experimental Investigations on High-Precision Micro-Low-Gravity Simulation Technology for Lunar Mobile Vehicle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Weijie","family":"Hou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China"},{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"}]},{"given":"Yongbo","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Control Engineering, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Chang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Intelligent Space Robotic Systems Technology and Applications, Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Guangping","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"}]},{"given":"Baoshan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"}]},{"given":"Qingqing","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Intelligent Space Robotic Systems Technology and Applications, Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering, Beijing 100094, China"}]},{"given":"Shuo","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China"}]},{"given":"Libin","family":"Zang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Microgravity and Hypogravity Environment Simulation Technology, Tianjin Institute of Aerospace Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, Tianjin 300301, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300350, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lund, T.
