Abstract
A simulation was performed for the radar system in order to ensure detection of the planet Mars at the start of the 1975 series of radar probes of the surface. Appropriate parameters were found. Appropriate parameters were also found for use at opposition (December 1975). Systematic errors in the measured delay with changes in surface roughness were observed. This effect is shown to be many times larger than the expected rms fluctuations in the measured delays.
