Bistatic full-wave radar tomography detects deep interior voids, cracks and boulders in a rubble-pile asteroid model
Liisa-Ida Sorsa, Mika Takala, Patrick Bambach +3
In this paper, we investigate full-wave computed radar tomography (CRT) using a rubble-pile asteroid model in which a realistic shape (Itokawa) is coupled with a synthetic material…

DISCUS - The Deep Interior Scanning CubeSat mission to a rubble pile near-Earth asteroid
Patrick Bambach, Jakob Deller, Esa Vilenius +5
We have performed an initial stage conceptual design study for the Deep Interior Scanning CubeSat (DISCUS), a tandem 6U CubeSat carrying a bistatic radar as main payload. DISCUS wi…
