A new radar system developed at Goddard is capable of looking up to 10 meters — or three stories — beneath the surface of the Moon, Mars or other rocky bodies. In this picture, Goddard technologists Cornelis Du Toit (left), Daniel Lu (center) and Rafael Rincon (right) stand before a prototype antenna subarray for Space Exploration Synthetic Aperture Radar. The team successfully tested the technology at Goddard’s Electromagnetic Anechoic Chamber. Rincon and University of Arizona scientist Lynn Carter are developing a Space Exploration Synthetic Aperture Radar, or SESAR. It would be capable of gathering meter-scale images of ice deposits, lava flows, caves, natural resources and fluvial channels buried between beneath the surfaces of planets, moons and other small bodies. Current NASA instruments can probe the surface or tens to hundreds of miles inside the interior. However, near-surface regions targeted by SESAR remain hidden from view with current spaceflight instruments, said Rincon, who, along with Carter, created the instrument concept. Credits: NASA/W.
