Shuttle Imaging Radar A Launches
Launch of the first flight of Shuttle Imaging Radar aboard the Space Shuttle. Using radar pulses rather than optical light, imaging radar can "see" through desert sands, for example, to detect the remnants of ancient riverbeds. Earth was mapped from approximately 60° N latitude to 60° S latitude.
Date Created: 1981-11-12
