Abstract

One of the three primary science instruments for the proposed Venus Origins Explorer (VOX) mission to the NASA New Frontiers Program is an X-band radar interferometer. This radar is designed to provide improved reolution imagery and topography of Venus as well as make repeat pass oberservations of selected targets to look for deformation signatures from presently active geological processes.
