The MARSIS experiment will map the Martian sub-surface structure to a depth of a few kilometres. The instrument's 40-metre long antenna booms will send low frequency radio waves towards the planet, which will be reflected from any surface they encounter.

My initial reaction is to speculate on how this capability will impact the Cydonia controversy. To my own chagrin, I predict it will do little to advance the Artificiality Hypothesis, as the features in question are probably "earthworks" not entirely like those on Earth.
But the possibility that the Mars formations were constructed from something other than rock can't be excluded.
