3D view of Earth

German TanDEM-X satellite seeks 3D view of Earth
The TanDEM-X satellite has blasted into orbit on a mission to acquire the most precise 3D map of the Earth's surface.
The German radar spacecraft will fly in formation with an identical platform called TerraSAR-X launched in 2007.
Together, the pair will measure the variation in height across the globe to an accuracy of better than two metres.
