Our task is to build and test a proof of concept Endfire Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), in order to reconstruct a 3D image of the terrain in front of a radar antenna. SAR is currently only used in side-looking configurations and this project will determine the feasibility of using a modified SAR algorithm and system in order to accurately determine the environment in front of the antenna. This configuration will become part of a larger proposal for a probe used to explore below the surface of Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus.
