Computer and Control Chapter (C&C) Dinner Meeting
3D Raised Relief Maps
by
Thomas P. Sullivan, Engineer
General Dynamics Mission Systems
In February 2000 the Space Shuttle Endeavour embarked on an 11 day mission to collect elevation data using two RADAR systems to form an Interferometer. The data collected has resulted in the creation of elevation databases for most of the planet. This presentation will show how the various pieces of software were developed to create the open source software, SRTM2STL, from which this data produces 3D STL files that can be printed as physical maps using a 3D printer.
