The Next-Generation Ground-Based Planetary Radar
Planetary radars have obtained unique Solar System science that includes physical and dynamical characterizations that support interplanetary navigation and hazard assessment. In the next decade, technologies will mature that could be deployed to produce a more capable and reliable ground-based radar for planetary science and planetary defense.
