Scientific paper

The principles of the radar survey of the Venus surface made by the Venus-15 and Venus-16 missions are described. Basic technical data for the Polyus-V2 synthetic aperture radar on board the Venus-15 and Venus-16 are given in a table. A photograph is shown of the instrumental container with the antenna system mounted on it. The construction is described of the radar displays and the means and order of data processing by the ground-based stations are discussed. Radar pictures of the Venus surface and altitude profiles are shown. Information was obtained on approximately 115 million km2 of the Northern Hemisphere of Venus and surface images of almost optical quality make it possible to begin mapping of the planet.
