Earth in the third dimension


The German satellite TanDEM-X was launch into orbit on a mission to map more accurate to be made available to the surface of the Earth. The satellite will fly radar technology with identical platform called TerraSAR-X launched in 2007. Both measured variations in the height of the globe with an accuracy of better than two meters.

Its digital elevation model will have many uses, from helping military jets fly ultra low height to show where rescue workers was worse the damage caused by an earthquake.
