ARECIBO MOON RADIO TELESCOPE CALIBRATED 70 CM RADAR V1.0
Backscatter image data of the Moon made with Arecibo 70 cm radar in 1986 and 1987. The observations were made to demonstrate mapping resolution of 0.5 - 1.0 kilometers by using short transmitter pulses and long integration times (up to 8 minutes). Image pixel values are in proportion to raw power in delay-Doppler sampling coordinates.
