Journal 2TecTom's Journal: Deep planet scans
An article about the LAMP probe discusses the multiple types of instruments co-ordinate into a cohesive explorative perspective.

This got me thinking that perhaps a similar approach could see much deeper.
Perhaps using 2,3 or 4 satellites would do the trick. Start with two in synch satellites, one a transmitter, one a receiver, exactly opposite each other. They then could encircle a planet and scan through it, eventually developing a 3D image. If one adds a third satellite, then an deep intersecting cross beam / pulse would be possible, and, if necessary, add a fourth to receive the secondary beam.
I'm thinking the essential issue here is types of transmission, perhaps only neutrinos which may not reveal much if anything.
I wonder what other particles or radiation could be considered for this?
