The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which flew onboard
Space Shuttle Endeavour in February 2000, gathered topographic
elevation data over approximately 80 percent of Earth’s land
mass during its ten-day flight. The results of the mission
will be the most extensive high-resolution database of Earth’s
topography.
