The Pre-Magellan CD-ROM

The Pre-Magellan CD-ROM contains 15 radar, altimetry, and gravity data sets, including extensive Earth-based radar observations of the Earth's Moon and the inner planets, spanning the years 1968-1990. This collection was prepared in advance of the Magellan Mission to Venus (1990-1994) in order to provide a set of relevant radar and gravity data for comparison to Magellan data. The volume contains image data and data tables from the Pioneer-Venus Orbiter and Viking Orbiter missions, the Goldstone, Arecibo, and Haystack Earth-based radar observatories, and the NASA AIRSAR airborne imaging radar system. These data sets are archived by the PDS Geosciences Node
