The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) is a joint project between the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA). The objective of this project is to produce digital topographic data for 80% of the Earth's land surface (all land areas between 60° north and 56° south
latitude), with data points located every 1-arc second (approximately 30 meters) on a latitude/longitude grid. The absolute vertical accuracy of the elevation data will
be 16 meters (at 90% confidence).
