Scientists have used radar technology to shed new light on the subsurface of the moon. Researchers used the Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) ...

MRO used a special maneuver that rolls the spacecraft over 120 degrees. This enhances the power of SHARAD, which is MRO’s ...

With Europe’s Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (Marsis) declared a success, planetary scientists around the world are eagerly anticipating other targets for the technology.

NASA's Perseverance landed on Mars in February 2021 and has been gathering data on the planet's geology and climate and searching for signs of ancient life. The rover's subsurface radar experiment has ...

ESA’s Mars Express radar sounder, MARSIS, has looked beneath the martian surface and opened up the third dimension for planetary exploration. The technique’s success is prompting scientists to think ...

ESA has released new radar maps showing the lake buried under the south pole of Mars. The stripe-like images were produced by the agency's orbiting Mars Express spacecraft as its Mars Advanced Radar ...

It was built to map the distribution of liquid and frozen water in upper portions of the planet's crust. A complementary radar sounder, the Shallow Subsurface Radar on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance ...

Scientists from the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica's (INAF) Istituto di Astrofisica e Planetologia Spaziali and the University of Perugia have developed a towable radar designed to look for water ...

Two Mars orbiter missions – one from NASA, the other from the European Space Agency (ESA) – will open new vistas in the exploration of Mars through the use of sophisticated ground-penetrating radars, ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express has returned strong evidence for an ocean once covering part of Mars. Using radar, it has detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean floor within the ...

A radar instrument on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter has looked beneath the surface of Mars and opened up a new dimension for planetary exploration. The technique's success is ...
