Proposal Title: S-Band Bistatic Radar Observations of Titan in 1998
ABSTRACT:
We are proposing new observations to measure Titan's radar cross section at a wavelength of 12.6 cm. Previous
experiments at 3.5 cm wavelength by others have made cross section estimates ranging from 0.35 to below 0.14.
The re ectivity has implications for surface composition, most interestingly for the existence of global liquid ethane
oceans. The observing window is limited by the time of Saturn opposition and coordinating with the receive
antenna, the Goldstone 70m.
