MRO: SHARAD

October 30, 2024. SHARAD EDRs and RDRs from SHARAD Operations from releases 67-70 are released, with coverage from February 12, 2023, through February 10, 2024.

August 30, 2024.
MRO Release 70 includes new SHARAD radargrams from the SHARAD Science Team and SHARAD Clutter Simulations, with coverage from December 6, 2023, through February 15, 2024. SHARAD EDRs and RDRs from SHARAD Operations from releases 67-70 are delayed.

August 1, 2024.
The SHARAD radargrams from the SHARAD Science Team have been migrated to the PDS4 standard. See the PDS4 notes document for details.

SHARAD (Shallow Radar) is a subsurface radar sounder that looks for water and ice in the first few hundred meters of the subsurface of Mars. SHARAD data sets are produced by the SHARAD Science Team.

Tools

Mars Orbital Data Explorer Mars Orbital Data Explorer - Provides search, display, and download  tools for SHARAD data sets.
  IDL scripts to create browse images - The two scripts in this zip file are used by PDS to generate the JPEG images in the browse directory. They may be useful as a model for reading the SHARAD data. (Last revised May 19, 2014.)
