Abstract:
Cassini Radar is a multimode rada instrument designed to probe the optically inaccessible surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The individual modes will allow surface imaging, surface emissivity measurements. Recently, the breadboard model of this instrument was built and has undergone a series of functional and perfomance tests. The results obtained from these tests indicate that the instrument design is satisfactory and that the various required performance parameters are suffieciently met.
