Surface echoes are visible in all four receiver channels. There is transient S-Band interference (probably from a terrestrial source) for about a minute at approximately 06:17; this should not have a significant impact on science. There are strong surface echoes (at both S- and X-Band) as the reflecting region approaches Stealth from the south. The echoes become much weaker from the target area; further analysis will be required to determine whether dielectric constants can be derived.
