IMAGE RELEASE: Moon’s Tycho Crater Revealed in Intricate Detail
Sep 21, 2021 · The National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Observatory (GBO) and National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and Raytheon Intelligence & Space (RI&S) have released a new high-resolution image of the Moon, the highest-ever taken from the ground using new radar technology on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT).
The First Moon Bistatic SAR Imaging Experiment Based on FAST …
Abstract: This article presents the first bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Moon imaging experiment based on the five-100-m aperture spherical radio telescope (FAST) and the Sanya incoherent scatter radar (SYISR). We obtain 430 MHz radar images of the Moon surface and the highest resolution of the images reaches 560 m × 630 m.
