Although many radar profiles and images of the areas within 20 deg of Mercury's equator had been obtained from 1971, at both Goldstone and Arecibo radar facilities, surprisingly little geological analysis had been done with these data until recently. Topographic profiles and radar roughness reflectivity images which can be derived from these data will be crucial in completing the geological mapping of Mercury now underway at the U.S. Geological Survey. Earth based radar observations of Mercury and the other terrestrial planets as well are a potentially very valuable tool in the determination of the physical nature of their surfaces. Processing of available radar data must be completed to establish any systematic relationship between radar reflectivities and roughness, density, dielectric constant, and other related geological parameters.
