The topographical data of movement environment and the real-time position and orientation of lunar rover must be accurately measured to test lunar rover’s ability of localization, path planning and mobile control. These data will be used to track the lunar rover’s movement in simulated lunar terrain in real time. Lunar rover tracking measurement technology with laser radar and iGPS is discussed in this paper, and a tracking measurement system is designed to measure and track accurately real-time position and orientation of lunar rover in the topographical data of movement environment. This system can provide some reference for the research of large-scale, high-precision and high-frequency tracking measurement of other rigid objects in specific environmental terrain.
