TL;DR: Data from the northern lowlands of Chryse Planitia have revealed a shallowly buried quasi-circular structure about 250 kilometers in diameter that is interpreted to be an impact basin and a planar reflector associated with the basin structure may indicate the presence of a low-loss deposit that is more than 1 kilometer thick.
Journal ArticleDOI
SHARAD: The MRO 2005 shallow radar
Roberto Seu,Daniela Biccari,Roberto Orosei,L. V. Lorenzoni,Roger J. Phillips,Lucia Marinangeli,Giovanni Picardi,A. Masdea,E. Zampolini +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of the Italian sounding radar Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) on the NASA mission Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).
Journal ArticleDOI

Rolando L. Jordan,G. Picardi,Jeffrey J. Plaut,K. Wheeler,D. L. Kirchner,Ali Safaeinili,William L. Johnson,Roberto Seu,Diego Calabrese,E. Zampolini,Andrea Cicchetti,R. L. Huff,D. A. Gurnett,Anton B. Ivanov,Wlodek Kofman,Roberto Orosei,Thomas W. Thompson,Peter Edenhofer,O. Bombaci +18 more
TL;DR: The Mars Advanced Radar for subsurface and ionospheric sounding (MARSIS) on Mars Express is the first high-frequency sounding radar operating from orbital altitudes since the Apollo 17 Lunar Sounder flown in 1972 as mentioned in this paper.
MARSIS: Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding
Giovanni Picardi,Daniela Biccari,R. Seu,Jeffrey J. Plaut,William T. K. Johnson,Rolando L. Jordan,Ali Safaeinili,D. A. Gurnett,R. L. Huff,Roberto Orosei,O. Bombaci,Diego Calabrese,E. Zampolini +12 more
TL;DR: The first several months of MARSIS operations were reported in this article, where the authors used sub-surface soundings to probe the north polar layered deposits to their base, up to 1.8 km deep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and surface scattering models for the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS)
Giovanni Picardi,Daniela Biccari,Roberto Seu,Lucia Marinangeli,W.T.K. Johnson,Rolando L. Jordan,J. J. Plaut,A. Safaenili,D. A. Gurnett,Gian Gabriele Ori,Roberto Orosei,Diego Calabrese,E. Zampolini +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of surface roughness on the penetration performance of MARSIS as a subsurface sounding instrument is studied. But the impact of the ionosphere on the performance is not discussed.
