In real time we saw weak X-LCP echoes; signals on the other three channels were expected to be weaker. I was actually pleased that we saw anything, given that Stealth's reputation is one of no echoes whatsoever in Earth-based radar studies of Mars. It will take a few days to play the data back from Madrid, to transfer the files to Stanford, and to conduct quick-look processing. If that can be completed before I leave for Darmstadt, I will send an appropriate summary message to the usual distribution list. The next two experiments (on 7 and 8 April) will be very similar in terms of coverage and signal quality except that the experiment on the 8th will be supported by Goldstone and there will be shadow coverage on S-Band at Arecibo (in hopes of gaining an additional 10 dB). More experiments two weeks later will be supported from Canberra, with slightly larger slant range from MEX to the target area. Each observation samples the scattering properties of Stealth at a slightly different longitude. By the time we have finished, we should have measurements at longitudes between 127 and 163 W longitude. Target latitudes are typically a couple degrees south of the equator. All of the April experiments are being conducted with inertial pointing; so results are valid for a single point on the surface at a single instant in time. I understand that experiments beginning in May will use specular point tracking as the default, so that we should start obtaining a continuous series of measurements lasting up to an hour. The experiment conducted on 22 January was carried out successfully in this mode. Unfortunately, because of scheduling difficulties and spacecraft limitations, MEX BSR experiment is confirmed only once in May and the prospects for others through the remainder of 2006 appear very bleak.

Stefan: The following are JPL/DSN calculations of sky frequency during MEX bistatic radar experiments. At these times, the spacecraft transponder would have been radiating at a frequency determined by the TCXO. Both X- and S-Band values are included. This is the entire collection. We do not usually pay much attention to the absolute sky frequency; in bistatic radar the relative frequency between the carrier and the echo is usually sufficient for analysis and interpretation.
