Radar Imaging of Mercury's South Polar Ice in 2005

This is a prop osal to use the Arecib o S-band radar to study Mercury's putative south p olar ice dep osits. We will use the long-co de delay-Doppler technique to make high-resolution radar images with a surface resolution of 1.5 km. The primary ob jective is to determine the spatial distribution of the ice in latitude and longitude and the ice distribution within individual host craters. This will b e the b est opp ortunity we will have to observe the south p ole from Arecib o for several years.
