Abstract
Strata is a low-mass, low-power, and low-volume impulse ground penetrating radar operating at 400 MHz and capable of defining subsurface stratigraphy and structure at the spatial resolution of tens of centimeters to 10-15 m depth. Strata would be used along transects suitable for to characterizing regolith properties on the Moon or distinguishing habitable environments on Mars.
