Summary:

A simulation program is established to determine the probability of success of a lunar surface vehicle in completing its primary mission, as well as various partial missions. This determination is obtained as a function of lunar surface conditions with realistic effects arising from equipment reliability and instrumentation accuracy.A Monte Carlo simulation technique accounts for the statistical nature of such variables as terrain and reliability without requiring real-time problem solution.The application of this computer program in the vehicle design phase facilitates trade-offs between subsystem performance and weight or power. The selection of operating strategy for normal and adverse lunar conditions (terrain or equipment difficulties) can be made
