TanDEM X marks 15 years mapping Earth in 3D
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 01, 2026 Exactly 15 years ago, in December 2010, the German TanDEM-X mission began routine radar imaging of Earth to produce a global digital elevation model, launching a long-running Earth observation program. Over six years, data from the twin radar satellites were processed into a consistent, high-precision digital elevation model that covers all land surfaces on the planet. This elevation model has since been adopted as a global topographic reference. DLR Chair of the Executive Board Anke Kaysser-Pyzal ... read more |
