Magellan Bistatic Radar (BSR)

The Magellan Bistatic Radar (BSR) Raw Data Archive is a time-ordered collection of raw and partially processed data from bistatic radar experiments conducted using the Magellan spacecraft while it orbited Venus.

The Bistatic Radar Calibrated Data Archive contains time-ordered amplitude- and frequency-calibrated data, power spectra and voltage cross spectra, along with ancillary data.
