Abstract
The paper gives a detailed retrospective review of radio studies of the Solar system planets. The history of missions and the evolution of the spacecraft designed for radar research are considered. It presents analysis of the options in constructing the existing spacecraft radar facilities for interplanetary research. On the basis of this analysis, the appearance of a new generation of radar equipment for interplanetary research missions is proposed. Principles of construction and technical solutions for creation of the onboard radar equipment for the promising research spacecraft were determined. Promising missions of the Venus radar survey were analyzed, and approaches to construction of the spacecraft radar equipment based on the advanced technical solutions were proposed.
