DEFORMABLE WHEEL WITH NON-PNEUMATIC LOAD SUPPORT AND TREAD HEATING FOR LUNAR AND MARTIAN CONDITIONS

The invention concerns a deformable wheel (2) with a non-pneumatic load-bearing support intended to equip a vehicle for rolling under extreme conditions such as those encountered on the moon and on Mars, comprising a hub (4), a lamified band (6) comprising a plurality of ferrules assembled with the interposition of interposition layers, and a plurality of metal cables (8) connecting the hub to the lamified band, the lamified band being covered with at least one thermal insulation coating (20) made from at least one material having a thermal conductivity less than 0.2 Wm⁻¹K⁻¹, and the wheel further comprising heating means (22, 24, 26) for the interposition layers of the lamified band
