Granular media in space can be used in the radar and microwave bands to enable imaging of previously inaccessible regions of targets with high geophysical variations with time, such as comets. The means of imaging, which includes a re-direction of energy, can permit higher resolution imaging as well. Applications include both tomographic and topographic radar imaging. The effect of the granular media cloud geometry plays a significant role in the scattering process. In addition, the spatial randomness effects the beam collimation and can have a positive effect on the imaging qualities in terms of effective aperture, coverage, and resolution of the radar techniques.
