Abstract:
Spaceborne Lunar Microwave Imaging Radar (LMIR) is the first Chinese synthetic aperture radar (SAR) applied to lunar exploration. Due to the advantages of SAR observation throughout the day, it undertakes the important task of imaging in the permanent shadow regions (PSRs), and it can also provide SAR data support for the landing of the detector in the PSRs and scientific research. This article introduces the LMIR's function index, system design and main applications.
