Examples of the calculated return pulse waveforms and the corresponding footprint topographies derived from the Ryugu shape model. (Left) The transmitted time is 17:33:56 on 1 August 2018. The transmitted energy is 0.00151 J. Distance between the spacecraft and the footprint center is 5155 m. The mean incident angle in the footprint is 0.204 rad. (Right) The transmitted time is 8:44:06 on 1 August 2018. The transmitted energy is 0.00133 J. Distance between the spacecraft and the footprint center is 8589 m. The mean incident angle in the footprint is 0.464 rad. The blue dotted line shows the average of 25,964 return pulses taken on 3-October 2018
