About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- After liftoff at 12:43:40 p.m. EST, the Space Shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-99 soars into a clear blue sky, trailed by flames and rolling billows of steam. The brilliant flames are reflected in the nearby waters. Known as the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), STS-99 will chart a new course to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's surface. The result of the SRTM could be close to 1 trillion measurements of the Earth's topography.
