A mast vibration damping system was developed for the Shuttle Radar Topography mission. The damping system development is considered from both a system perspective, and a detailed mechanism design viewpoint.
The Space Radar Topography Mission flew in February 2000 on the space shuttle Endeavor as the primary payload for STS-99. The primary product of this mission was a topographic database of 80 percent of the earth's land surface.
One of SRTM's significant features is the use of a 60 meter long deployable mast that serves to deploy an outboard antenna and creates a stable baseline.
