A Radar Mapping Search for Recent Volcanism on Venus

Radar mapping using the Arecibo telescope in 1988 provided the first 2-km resolution Earth-based image of Venus. The Magellan mission, over the next several years, mapped almost the entire planet at a spatial resolution of about 100 m. At the next close approach in June 2012, we thus have a 24-year baseline to search for surface changes due to volcanic processes. We propose to use the Arecibo S-band transmitter and GBT receivers for six days near close approach, providing a map of the visible hemisphere with 1-km spatial resolution. The result will be a comparison between the 1988 and 2012 datasets, and Magellan data, to show any areas of possible change.
