Scientific paper

Three regions of the surface of Venus were investigated by the bistatic radar technique, and the results are interpreted in the light of results of similar experiments on the lunar surface. The Venus experiments were carried out with a satellite circling the planet. An earth station received the direct radar signal from the satellite and also the signal reflected from the Venus surface. A parameter (gamma) characterizes the degree of roughness of the planet surface. A relatively high value of gamma corresponds to height drops of 2-3 km. The three regions studied had a total extent of 2400 km, and the surface in them was on the average smoother than the lunar surface.
