Proposal Title: High­Resolution 12.6­cm Radar Mapping of the Nearside of the Moon
ABSTRACT:
We propose to map the near side of the Moon at 12.6­cm radar wavelength, using the Arecibo Observatory
transmitter and receivers at the Green Bank Telescope. This map will have an 80­m per pixel spatial resolution,
have four radar looks averaged to reduce speckle e#ects, and will be collected in both senses of reflected circular
polarization. We will archive power image data, beam­ and noise­corrected calibrated mosaics of large regions, and
complex­valued data suitable for Stokes vector analysis with the Planetary Data System (PDS). The result will be
a spacecraft­quality dataset for the Moon of use in a wide range of geologic investigations and landing site studies.
