Abstract :
Over the past few years, the interest in exploring Mars has grown, with several missions in the planning stages for the next decade. One motivating theme is the potential of discovering substantial subsurface aqueous reservoirs. This paper outlines the simulation and development of a lightweight, low-power, ground-penetrating radar system intended for the subsurface exploration of Mars
