The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) will collect these important data during an 11-day space shuttle mission in 1999. The mission is a partnership between NASA and the Department of Defense's National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). In addition, the German and Italian space agencies are contributing an experimental high-resolution imaging radar system. Analysts will use the SRTM data to generate 3-D topographic maps called digital elevation models.
