Abstract
The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science JAXA is developing a landing radar comprising a radio altimeter and a velocity meter, which are two of the mandatory navigation sensors for a planetary lander. The landing radar employs a pulse-type radar using 4.3GHz C-band microwave radiation. It has a wide beam for measuring the altitude in vertical direction, as well as four narrow tilted beams for measuring the velocity in horizontal direction. A BBM of the landing radar has been evaluated on natural terrains by using a helicopter. This paper introduces the BBM hardware and discusses the dynamic performance in field experiments.
