Abstract
<p class="first" id="d2450986e69">A radar interferometer was used to map unambiguously
the surface reflectivity of Venus
in the polarized mode at a wavelength of 70 centimeters. The observed region extended
from 260 degrees to 30 degrees in longitude and from -60 degrees to 50 degrees in
latitude with a surface resolution of approximately 3 degrees by 3 degrees . The result
agrees well in most respects with earlier maps made elsewhere at shorter wavelengths
and, in addition, discloses a number of new "features."
