Scientists have used radar technology to shed new light on the subsurface of the moon. Researchers used the Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) ...

NASA's Perseverance landed on Mars in February 2021 and has been gathering data on the planet's geology and climate and searching for signs of ancient life. The rover's subsurface radar experiment has ...

ESA has released new radar maps showing the lake buried under the south pole of Mars. The stripe-like images were produced by the agency's orbiting Mars Express spacecraft as its Mars Advanced Radar ...

ESA’s Mars Express radar sounder, MARSIS, has looked beneath the martian surface and opened up the third dimension for planetary exploration. The technique’s success is prompting scientists to think ...

With Europe’s Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (Marsis) declared a success, planetary scientists around the world are eagerly anticipating other targets for the technology.

Two Mars orbiter missions – one from NASA, the other from the European Space Agency (ESA) – will open new vistas in the exploration of Mars through the use of sophisticated ground-penetrating radars, ...

"There's much more water than we thought 20 or 30 years ago, and it's really interesting to use this technique to try to understand where the water could be." When you purchase through links on our ...

Scientists from the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica's (INAF) Istituto di Astrofisica e Planetologia Spaziali and the University of Perugia have developed a towable radar designed to look for water ...

The martian subsurface has been probed to kilometer depths by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding instrument aboard the Mars Express orbiter. Signals penetrate the polar ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express has returned strong evidence for an ocean once covering part of Mars. Using radar, it has detected sediments reminiscent of an ocean floor within the ...
