Research grade SRTM (C-band) data are available through NASA JPL.
What is SRTM map?
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data have been enhanced to fill areas of missing data (Void Filled) to provide more complete digital elevation data with a resolution of 1 arc-second (~ 30 meters) and 3 arc-seconds (~ 90 meters) for global coverage.
How do I download SRTM files from Qgis?
Download SRTM Elevation Data
- Open SRTM-Downloader plugin in the plugins menu. See figure 4.
- The SRTM-Downloader plugin window will open as in Figure 5. Then click Set canvas extent to get the location extent.
- If you want to add the SRTM downloaded data when finished.

What is SRTM Qgis?
SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) is a global research endeavor that yielded nearly-global digital elevation models (DEM). QGIS has a plugin called the SRTM Downloader that allows for SRTM data to easily be downloaded straight from QGIS. SRTM data downloaded by the plugin is in the form of . hgt files.
What is the size of the SRTM Shuttle mission?
The 11-day SRTM Shuttle mission took place in the period Feb. 11-22, 2000. The total mass of the SRTM payload was 14,500 kg. 10) Orbit: circular exact repeat orbit, altitude = 233 km, inclination = 57ยบ.
Where does SRTM get its funding?
Funding for SRTM is from NIMA [Note: As of Nov. 2003, NIMA (National Intelligence Mapping Agency) changed its name to NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency)], while NASA is supplying the SIR-C hardware, the Shuttle launch, ground systems, mission operations and data processing support.
What is the SRTM architecture?
The SRTM architecture was based on the SRL SIR-C/X-SAR instruments, modified and augmented to enable single-pass interferometric operations. The resulting new system consisted of four principal subsystems: C-RADAR, X-RADAR, AMS (Antenna/Mechanical System), and the AODA (Attitude and Orbit Determination Avionics).
