About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — A crane lifts the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), the primary payload on STS-99, from a payload canister used to transport it to Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) bay 2 to the payload bay of the orbiter Endeavour. The SRTM consists of a specially modified radar system that will gather data for the most accurate and complete topographic map of the Earth's surface that has ever been assembled.
