I sat the imagery on top of some SRTM data, exaggerated the Z axis by 2x and put together this little video using the Qgis2threejs plugin. Pretty cool!

#GISchat: #OTD in 2000, NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) wrapped up its mapping of much of Earth's surface. For many years (probably until Copernicus DEM was released a few yrs ago), SRTM's output was considered *the* best quality global DEM. 🧐 www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/instrum...

Used to gather topographic (elevation) data of Earth's surface, NASA's SRTM used interferometry.

The reconstruction model was created in #Blender3D with high-resolution digital terrain data sourced from the Ordnance Survey and lower-resolution SRTM 30m data from NASA, which I used to create my backdrop of the Cairngorm Mountains. Erosion and textures added in World Machine. #HillfortsWednesday

SRTM data helped advance multiple fields of geoscience. It was and still is a profoundly important resource. 🧪⚒️⚛️

I'm looking for any info about how & why it was decided to use the Space Shuttle do create SRTM in 2000
A few questions I have:
- How of the world had we mapped in 3D before 2000?
- Why the Space Shuttle over a dedicate satellite (or pair of satellites)
- How the data was processed

Happy 25th anniversary #SRTM mission! 🚀🌍
On 11 February 2000, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission was launched into space on NASA’s STS-99. The mission revolutionised #EarthObservation, as it was the first time that highly precise measurements of almost all of Earth's surface were conducted.

every time i think about srtm i think about the weight of the sheer number of fucking decisions made for a bunch of people who decided to just fuck off

The wife of Indian hunger strike activist Sonam Wangchuk, taken to hospital against his will, accused the government of "illegal detention" disguised as medical care. Wangchuk’s 20-day hunger strike has been in protest against India's examination system.

What are some of the greatest contributions of SRTM?
I'm looking for real world application, uses cases.
Best lead so far is a 2011 "SRTM DEM and its application advances" that goes over some research papers + shows it was used in some natural disaster mapping
The more specific the better
