Titan is an ocean world with a dense atmosphere, where photochemistry produces complex
organic molecules that fall to the surface. An important astrobiological question is whether …

Airborne radar sounders (RSs) are active sensors that acquire subsurface data for Earth
observation. RS data (radargrams) provide information on buried geology by imaging …

This paper presents the Subsurface Radar Sounder (SRS) instrument onboard European
Space Agency's (ESA) EnVision mission. EnVision is one of the three candidates selected …

Young surface and possible recent endogenic activity make Europa one of the most exciting
solar system bodies and a primary target for spacecraft exploration. Future Europa missions …

Recent work has raised the potential for Jupiter's decametric radiation to be used as a
source for passive radio sounding of its icy moons. Two radar sounding instruments, the …

The objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of two possible architectures of
tethered satellite systems, used as a platform for a distributed radar sounder. The first …

Enceladus is a dynamic icy moon of Saturn and a leading target for future planetary
missions focused on the search for life beyond Earth. For such missions, instruments that …

Englacial layers in Antarctica and Greenland are indicators of the dynamic, rheological and
subglacial configuration of the ice sheets. Airborne radar sounder data is the primary remote …

Surface cross-track clutter can corrupt both earth and planetary radar sounder (RS)
observations preventing definitive interpretation of subsurface features, which are often of …

Abstract We present a White Paper with a science theme concept of ocean world evolution
and habitability proposed in response to ESA's Voyage 2050 Call with a focus on Titan and …
