Data Set Abstract Backscatter image data of the Moon made with Arecibo 70 cm radar in 1986 and 1987. The observations were made to demonstrate mapping resolution of 0.5 - 1.0 kilometers by using short transmitter pulses and long integration times (up to 8 minutes). Image pixel values are in proportion to raw power in delay-Doppler sampling coordinates.
