Zusammenfassung:•The XX polarization is best for minimizing data artifact (noise) generation.•Data artifact generation is minimal for GPR heights ⩽10cm.•Noise includes horizontal banding, multiple reflections, and truncated hyperbolas. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is the leading geophysical candidate technology for future lunar missions aimed at mapping shallow stratigraphy (
