Abstract:
SHARAD is a subsurface sounding radar provided by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) as a facility instrument to be 9own on the NASA
mission Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). It shall be launched on August 2005 from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and shall
deliver a payload designed to provide observations from a low Mars orbit with a nominal science period starting from October 2006.
SHARAD operating parameters, 20 MHz central frequency with a 10 MHz bandwidth, shall allow to study the planet in a way that shall
complement previous and recent results, shall be complementary to the other Italian sounding radar Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface
and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) in terms of scale and resolution, and shall return scienti>c data for Martian soil in order to support
the site selection for future landing missions. In this paper the scienti>c objectives and the system analysis will be discussed and the
expected performance is evaluated
