RADAR PROBES OF THE PLANET MERCURY,

Abstract

Data resulting from a radar survey of Mercury in June 1962 mmarized. The results of the radar observations do not contradict the results of measurements of the astronomical unit obtained in the radar survey of Venus in 1961, and yield a coefficient of reflection for Mercury which is close to that of the lunar surface.
