North lat., 139.45 East lon.On December 16, 1707, scientists recorded the last confirmed eruption of Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest point. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. It is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif, for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise,Washington, D.C. Department of Defense, and the German and Italian space agencies. The mission is a cooperative project between the NASA, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) of the U.S.

To collect the 3-D SRTM data, engineers added a mast 60 meters (about 200 feet) long, installed additional C-band and X-band antennas, and improved tracking and navigation devices. SRTM was designed to collect three-dimensional measurements of Earth's land surface. SRTM used the same radar instrument that comprised the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew twice on Endeavour in 1994. The elevation data used in this image was acquired by SRTM aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on February 11, 2000. Fuji and Tokyo can be seen in PIA02791 and PIA02793. For visualization purposes, topographic heights displayed in this image are exaggerated two times. In this image, elevations are represented by color height increases from white to green to brown. A world-famous stratovolcano, Fuji is still considered active despite not having had an eruption in almost 300 years. The mountain peak in the background is the 3,776-meter (12,388-feet) high Mt. Like all of Japan's major cities it is located in the flat, coastal areas of this mostly rugged and mountainous country. First known as Edo, the now bustling metropolis first began to flourish in 1603 when a Shogunate (a region under the jurisdiction of a military leader) was established there. The metropolitan area is home to one-fourth of Japan's 127 million people. In this perspective view generated using data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), Tokyo appears as the large, bright area in the foreground. Tokyo, located on the island of Honshu, is Japan's capital and most populous city.
