The application of radar to the study of the surfaces of planets, planetary satellites, asteroids and comets. Topics covered include target detectability and the specification of the needed antennas, transmitters, and receiving systems; data processing techniques; imaging techniques including delay-Doppler imaging, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR; target characterization from cross section, scattering laws and polarization measurements; results from earth-based and spacecraft radar observations of Mercury, Earth, the Moon, Mars, the satellites of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, asteroids and comets.
