Scientific paper

Radar reconnaissance of near-Earth asteroids, mainbelt asteroids, the Galilean satellites, the Martian satellites, and large Saturnian satellites, using the Arecibo 13-cm and the Goldstone 3.5-cm systems is discussed. Measurements of echo strength, polarization, delay/Doppler distribution of echo power provide information about dimensions, spin vector, large-scale topography, cm-to-m-scale morphology, and surface bulk density. The observations also yield refined estimates of target orbital elements.
