       Description of the background behind and general principles of the

    experiments, summarizes the advantages of the bistatic geometry, and      
    briefly reviews the early results.                                        
                                                                              
       DESC_TXT.ASC  is an ASCII file with 80-byte FIXED_LENGTH records;      
    each record is delimited by a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed        
    (ASCII 10) pair.
