I was present for the observations on DOY 344 when we observed the Residual South Polar Ice Cap on Mars less than 10 minutes before pericenter. The echoes were visible in all four channels and are among the strongest we have seen in real time. There was interest in the south polar results that I presented to the AGU meeting last Monday; the new data were acquired at slant ranges about 8 times closer. That translates roughly into 64 times more signal and 10 times better surface resolution. The DOY 346 observations are winding up now. According to Gene Goltz, everything appeared nominal. He said surface echoes were present in all 4 channels. These data were collected over the Viking Lander 2 site, so there are ground truth data to compare with these bistatic radar results. There was interference (apparently from Mars Global Surveyor) during both experiments. In neither case were the interfering signals present during the central part of the surface observation. But some care may be needed in handling the calibration data to ensure that they are not contaminated by the interference. Radio science operations personnel lost control over the radio science receivers during the post-experiment "minical" on DOY 344. The equipment apparently continued to operate, and we are optimistic that the data will not be affected. The cause for this anomaly is not known; investigations are continuing. There have been no problems on DOY 346.
