Episode description

One of the coolest things about living at this point in human history is that we are now able to visit other worlds. From rovers trundling over the rocky surface of Mars to probes in orbit around Jupiter and Saturn, we have the incredible opportunity to collect information about other planets – but to do this, scientists need to develop cutting-edge tools. A team at RMIT University in Melbourne has just developed a miniature radar device that will help us see below the surface of the Moon and Mars. We speak to one member of the research team, James McNae. Today’s interview is hosted by Cosmos journalist Lauren Fuge.
