Abstract
The first bistatic Moon radar experiments were conducted by the Stanford Center for Radar Astronomy, using Lunar Orbiter spacecraft. Apollo not only provides stronger signals, but provides for conduct of the experiment on two frequency bands. The JPL 64-meter-diameter tracking antenna at Goldstone is uniquely suited to the reception of the S-band signals involved, and has been used on both Apollo 14 and Apollo 15 for the bistatic investigation.
