Ground-penetrating radar of the Netlander mission

We present in the first part the state of development of the laboratory prototype of the GPR which will allow to check the performances of all the sub-systems. Then some results obtained from numerical simulation are shown to demonstrate the radar capabilities and the anticipated characteristics of the detected signal. Simulated data have been used to study the algorithms which will be employed to analyse the observations and some examples of initial results are presented. Initial field measurements are reported.
