Proposal Title: Bistatic Radar Observations of the Moon with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
ABSTRACT:
The Arecibo Planetary Radan Transmitter combined with the Mini­RF radar instrument in lunar orbit enables a
bistatic radar experiment which can provide additional information as to whether lunar polar permanently
shadowed areas contain water ice. This experiment would consist of the Arecibo Observatory planetary radar
transmitting a 12.6 cm wavelength signal which is reflected o# the lunar surface and received by the Mini­RF
instrument on LRO. These would be the first ever planetary non beta­zero radar images ever collected.
