6. CONCLUSIONS
The radar images from the three L-Band synthetic aperture radars flown in space by NASA represent a unique and under-utilized data set. The synoptic coverage of tropics and deserts has been shown to provide new insight into the geology of both of these terrains. Sub-surface imaging provides information available in no other way for areas favourable to the technique. The constant imaging geometry and availability of multiple incidence angle data provide terrain distinctions not possible from airborne radar data. In the future multifrequency radar data will allow more surface type distinctions to be made. Spaceborne radar images should figure in any exploration effort where such data are available.
