Berthelier, J.J., Bonaimé, S., Ciarletti, V., Clairquin, R., Dolon, F., Le Gall, A., Nevejans, D., Ney, R. and Reineix, A. (2005). Initial results of the Netlander imaging ground-penetrating radar operated on the Antarctic Ice Shelf. Geophysical Research Letters 32: doi: 10.1029/2005GL024203. issn: 0094-8276.

The objective of the Netlander mission was to land 4 small geophysical stations on the surface of Mars to study the deep interior, subsurface, surface and atmosphere of the planet. Included in the payload was a ground penetrating radar (GPR) designed to retrieve not only the distance but also the direction of the reflectors, thus providing a simplified 3D imaging of the subsurface. In this paper we report initial results obtained during the RANETA campaign on the Antarctic ice shelf. Data from two soundings of the ice-bed rock interface are analyzed, demonstrating the capability of the radar to disentangle echoes from different reflecting facets of the bed rock.
