Topography | NASA Earthdata This is a hillshade image of the Himalayas' Mt Everest-region scanned during the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) in February 2000 SRTM was a payload package flown aboard Space Shuttle Endeavor that included two radars used to create interferograms and near-global topographic maps of Earth called digital elevation models
NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Version 3. 0 . . . - Earthdata NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission V3 Global 1 arc second hillshade image of the Mt Everest region The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center ( LP DAAC ) recently released additional tiles in NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Version 3 0 Global 1 arc second dataset (SRTMGL1), to include coverage over Asia and Australia
Digital Elevation Terrain Model (DEM) | NASA Earthdata This is a Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) hillshade image of the Mount Everest region SRTM obtained elevation data across nearly 80% of Earth creating the first ever near-global DEM dataset The data was captured in February 2000 using radar interferometry equipment operating from inside Space Shuttle Endeavour's payload bay
The Definitive Merged Global Digital Topographic Data Set SRTM topography has become the most popular data set distributed by EDC, with the number of data downloads far exceeding any other remotely sensed data Since no subsequent global mapping projects are currently planned the SRTM data will remain as the 'definitive' topographic data set for decades to come
SRTM | NASA Earthdata 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
Terrain Elevation | NASA Earthdata NASA's terrain elevation data measure current height and changes in land altitude and are useful for creating digital elevation models
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) - Earthdata Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 2 Figure 1 SRTM Genealogy SRTM Data Products SRTM data are organized into individual rasterized tiles each covering one-degree of latitude by one-degree of longitude Sample spacing for individual data points is either 1 arc-second or 3 arc-seconds depending on the product selected as identified in
New Products: AMSR-E Sea Ice and Blue Marble: Next Generation Topography is also one of the factors that influences where particular ecosystems exist Therefore topography is one of the factors that scientists can use to predict where certain plants or animals, such as endangered species, might be found View more information about the Blue Marble: Next Generation imagery products
