The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) payload flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour during the STS-99 mission. SRTM collected topographic data over nearly 80% of Earth's land surfaces, creating the first-ever near-global dataset of land elevations. The SRTM payload consisted of two radar antennas, one located in the shuttle's payload bay and the other installed on the end of a 200-foot ...
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an average altitude of approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface. This altitude allows the ISS to remain in a stable ...
NASA's data for digital elevation models (DEM) comes from airborne and space-based sources and are useful for analyzing a majority of Earth's terrain.
Space-based platforms can be placed in several types of orbits around Earth. The three common classes of orbits are low-Earth orbit (approximately 160 to 2,000 km above Earth), medium-Earth orbit (approximately 2,000 to 35,500 km above Earth), and high-Earth orbit (above 35,500 km above Earth). Platforms orbiting at 35,786 km are at an altitude at which their orbital speed matches the planet's ...
