Bistatic Radar Observations of the Moon with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

The Arecibo Planetary Radan Transmitter combined with the Mini-RF 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 off the lunar surface and received by the Mini-RF instrument on LRO. These would be the first ever planetary non beta-zero radar images ever collected.
