The land vehicle for space terrain exploration has a front wheel (6) fork assembly (15) attached to the chassis (1) by a quadrilateral linkage (17-20). The linkage is formed from rigid links, one of which is fixed to the chassis and another to the steering fork. The linkage pivot axes are parallel to that of the front wheel. There can be several front wheels each connected to the chassis by a linkage. Each linkage can have an energy absorbing spring.
