摘要

•Mini-RF on LRO collected bistatic S-band radar data of the lunar nearside from 2012 to 2015 to observe the scattering characteristics of the upper meter(s) of the lunar regolith.•An opposition effect was observed for the ejecta blankets of two Copernican-aged craters and for the floor of the south-polar crater Cabeus.•The unique response of Cabeus floor materials may indicate the presence of water ice.
