Abstract

In 2021, China's first Mars rover Zhurong successfully landed on the southern Utopia Planitia (109.925°E, 25.066°N) and began its exploration. The low-frequency channel (15-95 MHz) of Mars Rover Penetrating Radar (RoPeR) has capability to explore the Martian subsurface down to approximately 100 m, making it possible to study the past geological activities. Here, we provide a low-frequency radar dataset that have undergone editing (pre-processing), partial processing, and complete processing to end users and can be directly applied for analysis, interpretation and inversion. The dataset contains 76 subsurface dipping reflectors that dip toward the northern lowlands at depths of 10-35 m. These reflectors show inclinations ranging from 6º to 20º with an average value of 14.5º and standard deviation of 2.9º. This dataset can promote further research on the formation and evolution of Martian ancient ocean.
