Radar studies of the moon and planets from the earth have been valuable but limited in comparison to radar studies from spacecraft. Autonomous and non-autonomous methods of radar research from space satellites and probes are considered. Results of both the Luna and Surveyor series of lunar spacecraft are presented. It is concluded that use of radar in spacecraft allows valuable, high resolution measurement even near the limb and on the back side of the moon.
