STS 99 OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this flight is to successfully perform the operations of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)/Space Radar Lab-3 (SRL-3). The secondary objective of this flight is to perform the requirements for EarthKAM.
CARGO BAY PAYLOAD:
Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) is a joint program between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense (DoD), the National Imaging and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR).
SRTM will orbit the Earth for eleven days; mapping operations will be conducted for ten of those days. The SRTM will archive, in a single shuttle flight, what an army of surveyors couldn't achieve in a lifetime; to survey the landmass between 60[degrees] North and 58[degrees] South latitude. After two years of postflight data processing the SRTM will produce a 3-D digital terrain map of the Earth. The horizontal and vertical accuracy of the map will be 20 meters and 16 meters, respectively. This detailed map covering 80% of the earth's surface will aid in our ability to forecast weather, manage natural resources, and manage emergency relief efforts. The fields of archeology and the earth sciences will also benefit.
SRTM is comprised of two interferometric radar systems: the C-brand Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (C-IFSAR) and the Interferometric X-Brand Synthetic Aperture Radar (X-SAR/SRTM). These are modified versions of the SPaceborne Imaging Radar-C (SIR-C) and X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (X-SAR) that flew as part of the SRL missions (SRL-1 (STC-59) and SRL-2 (STS-68)). Modifications include a 60-meter retractable boom and the Attitude and Orbit Determination Avionics (AVODA). AODA is a suite of sensors and electronics whose function is to verify mast deployment and antenna alignment during on-orbit operations. AODA sensors will provide the crew the feedback necessary to construct the digital terrain map postflight. Each radar system will employ a passive receive antenna at the end of the 60 meter retractable boom to support continuous interferometry. The boom is launch stowed in a canister attached to the forward end of the Antenna Core Structure.
C-IFSAR and X-SAR/SRTM radar subsystems are installed on a Spacelab Multiplexer/Demultiplexer pallet. The inboard C-IFSAR and X-SAR/SRTM radar antenna are mounted on an Antenna Trunnion Structure (ATS) which has direct mechanical interfaces with the Orbiter longerons and kneel.
The high rate data from both the C-IFSAR and X-SAR/SRTM radars are recorded on Payload High Rate Tape Recorders (PHRRs) located in the Orbiter crew cabin. The high-density tapes with the mission data will be removed from the orbiter postflight and used to construct the digital terrain map of the earth.
MIDDECK PAYLOAD:
EathKAM- This payload plans to conduct Earth observations using the Electronic Still Camera (ESC) installed in the overhead starboard window of the aft flight deck. It provides students access to real-time images of the earth by uplinking commands to the ESC to photograph specific land areas. These images are then downlinked real-time via the Orbiter Communications Adapter (OCA).
DEVELOPMENT TEST OBJECTIVES (DTO's):
DTO 686 Heat Exchange Unit Evaluation
DTO 690 Urine collection Device
DTO 700-14 Single string Global Positioning System
DTO 700-17A High Definition Television (HDTV) Camcorder Demonstration

DETAILED SUPPLEMENTARY OBJECTIVES (DSO's):
DSO 206 Effect of Space Flight on Bone, Muscle and Immune Function
DSO 493 Monitoring Latent Virus Reactivation and Shedding in Astronauts
DSO 496 Individual Susceptibility To Post-Spaceflight Orthostatic Intolerance
DSO 498 Space Flight and Immune Function (pre and post-flight only)
DTO 802 Educational Activities
