Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM): In addition to the main antennas in the cargo bay of the space shuttle, further receiving antennas were attached to the top of a 60-metre-long, extendable mast. This combination made it possible to generate a three-dimensional view of the Earth from space for the first time.
