-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 3-D Satellite Mission Takes Flight: Big Pics Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:41:19 -0700 (PDT) From: MARZIO VENEMAN <[log in to unmask]> To: Angie Cope <[log in to unmask]> Dear subscribers Map-L, With reference to this recent article, I take pleasure informing you as follows: http://news.discovery.com/earth/earth-satellite-3d.html TanDEM-X is scheduled to meet up in orbit with its larger "twin" satellite TerraSAR-X and fly in a tight helix around it. As the two image the same section of Earth from slightly different angles, they will produce the first high-resolution 3-D pictures of the planet's surface. The first such images are expected in January. New maps generated this way will allow military jets to fly extremely low to the ground. Images will also be useful to disaster response, allowing workers to quickly determine which part of a region has been hit hardest by an earthquake or flood. etcetery I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes, in case you require any additional details, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
