Methods for testing the Mars Science Laboratory’s Landing Radar

The Mars Science Laboratory’s rover named Curiosity successfully landed on Mars on August 6, 2012. One component of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) system was the Terminal Descent Sensor (TDS) landing radar. In this paper we describe laboratory testing of this rad...
