Advancement of the Space Exploration Synthetic Aperture Radar (SESAR)
Project Description
The Space Exploration Synthetic Aperture Radar (SESAR) is an advanced radar instrument concept that will enable a new class of measurements that address key Decadal Survey science goals for planetary exploration. The objective of this work is to reduce the mass and improve and its deployability for application in planetary missions.
More »Anticipated Benefits
Several NRC Planetary Science Decadal Survey goals (Visions and Voyages, 2011; NRC Press) will require or benefit from high resolution surface and subsurface microwave imaging. SESAR addresses many of these goals.
