Beschreibung:
This paper describes how a station, designed, built, and operated for spacecraft communications has been used for scientific planetary radar studies. The thrust of the paper is the mutual advantage that the NASA/JPL Deep Space Network (DSN) and the Goldstone Solar System Radar have derived from sharing some equipment. It is concluded that, by allocating a small fraction of a DSN station's tracking time to planetary radar studies, a superb scientific instrument has been developed.
