Will any additional RADAR data be released or was it all made public during the last news conference?

While they're not going to make any radar observations at all during the second and third Titan flybys (with Huygens landing during the third one), Robert Mitchell just told me today that they will be making radar observations during the fourth one ("Titan-3") between 12 and 3 hours before closest approach. (This was only recently added to the flyby's observations; they had to give up some long-distance radio-science gravity tracking data to do it.) I'll have to take another look at my documents to see whether any SAR or altimetry profiles are capable at that distance, or whether it would just be scatterometry and microwave radiometry. I suspect the latter.
