Imaging of a scaled comet model from lab experiments

Abstract

The main goal of CONSERT experiment is to reach information on the nucleus of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko/67P. In this contribution, we focus on microwave tomography and the study is conducted on an equivalent scaled model of the comet. A simple vectorial-induced current reconstruction algorithm is exploited to obtain qualitative maps of the scene. Imaging results of this test model have been performed from lab measurements.
