Bistatic Deep Soundings with the Hf Gpr Tapir in the Egyptian White Desert
Introduction: In the frame of the NetLander mission, the Centre d’étude des Environnements Terrestre et Planétaires (CETP) has developed an impulse ground penetrating radar (GPR) operating at very low central frequencies from 2 to 6 MHz [1]. This instrument, named TAPIR (Terrestrial And Planetary Investigation Radar), aims at exploring the geological features in the deep Martian subsurface and ...
متن کاملSounding Cratonic Fill in Small Buried Craters Using Ground Penetrating Radar: Analog Study to the Martian Case
We report results from a field survey performed on a recently discovered impact field in the southwestern Egyptian desert, using a 270 MHz Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR). This hyperarid region has significant similarities to the Martian heavily eroded mid-latitude cratered terrains in terms of crater density, size, and geomorphology. Profiles across small-buried craters revealed a coherent sequ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Density Dependent Dielectric Properties of Mars-like Soils: Implications for Mars Radar Studies;
Introduction: Mars is the subject of several present and future radar investigations over the frequency range 1 MHz to 1GHz investigating the physical properties of the Martian surface and subsurface. A primary objective of the ESA orbital sounding radars, MARSIS (0.5-5 MHz) and SHARAD (15-25 MHz) is to map the Martian subsurface looking for evidence of subsurface water. The scientific return f...
متن کاملFrequency and temperature dependence in electromagnetic properties of Martian analog minerals
[1] Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has the potential to image the Martian subsurface to give geological context to drilling targets, investigate stratigraphy, and locate subsurface water. GPR depth of penetration depends strongly on the electromagnetic (EM) properties (complex dielectric permittivity, complex magnetic permeability, and DC resistivity) of the subsurface. These EM properties in t...
متن کاملA forward scattering and propagation model for Antarctic ice sheet investigations
A forward scattering and propagation model has been developed with the primary intent to investigate the feasibility of sounding the Antarctic ice sheet using a spaceborne radar system. The use of the model is also envisaged for support and interpretation of airborne ice sounding or ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. In principle, the model could also be used to support planetary radar soundi...
