Proposal for Radar Imaging of Apollo, Phobos, Deimos, and Seven Mainbelt

Asteroids
ABSTRACT:
Our intentions include high-resolution imaging and shap e reconstruction of the near-Earth asteroid 1862 Ap ollo; mo derate-resolution imaging and shap e reconstruction of the main-b elt asteroids 3 Juno, 53 Kalypso, and 60 Echo; mo derate-resolution imaging and, if the p ole directions are suitable, shap e reconstruction of the main-b elt asteroids 111 Ate, 164 Eva, 711 Boliviana, and 1139 Atami; detection of Deimos and estimation of its surface bulk density; and imaging of Phob os and determination of its radar scattering law. We exp ect echo es at least several times higher than those achieved for any of the six previously detected targets. For each of our targets, the next radar opp ortunity as go o d as the 2005-2006 one is years to decades in the future.
