Data Set Abstract |
Calibrated data from three orbits of S-Band (13 cm wavelength)
Magellan bistatic radar data collected with NASA antenna DSS 63
on 5 June 1994 when the specular point crossed Maxwell Montes.
Similarly processed data were used by Pettengill et al. (SCIENCE,
272, 1628-1631, 1996) to infer existence of a semiconductor layer
covering anomalously reflecting regions at high altitude on
Venus. This new data set includes calibrated time samples of
receiver output as well as calibrated power spectra and voltage
cross spectra (between the two received polarizations). The data
set was written to three DVD+R volumes for delivery to the NASA
Planetary Data System (PDS). |
