This article describes the method and the results obtained from bistatic radar surveillance of the moon which uses a modulated signal, radiated by the satellite 'Luna-22'. The use of a transmitted signal with a periodic, linear frequency modulation, with a deviation of 256 KHz and a repetition period of 500 microseconds enabled measurements of the altitude profile of the surface in the vicinity of the Rocco crater and to construct reflective charts of this region. The suitablity of this method to measurement of topography of the moon and of the planets is demonstrated. (Original in russisch)
