Linking the Solar System and Extrasolar Planetary Systems with Radar Astronomy: Infrastructure for "Ground Truth" Comparison
·

The world's planetary radar infrastructure leverages astronomical and telecommunications antennas — Arecibo and the Goldstone Radar, with the Green Bank Telescope as a receiver.
