Sophisticated Conjecture. Such lunar theorizing is based largely on earthly experience. Barringer has already designed effective radar systems to measure the thickness of antarctic ice, which is largely transparent to many low-frequency radars and radio altimeters, a phenomenon that results in incorrect altitude readings and has caused several plane crashes. Barringer is also conducting laboratory experiments for NASA to study the possibility of designing a radar system that would measure the thickness of the moon's surface layer from an orbiting vehicle.
