The importance of ground-based radar observations for planetary exploration
Ground-based planetary radar observations have enabled and continue to facilitate the exploration of our solar system. In this white paper, we review earlier planetary radar findings and discuss priority science questions that in the next decade can be elucidated with ground-based radar observations.
