NISAR mission logo. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar ( NISAR) mission is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar on an Earth observation satellite. The satellite will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual frequencies.
Jan 9, 2024 · NISAR is undergoing final integration and testing at ISRO’s satellite facility in Bengaluru, India, and will launch from ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. Launch is expected in early 2024; the specific date will be announced by ISRO.
NISAR will be the first NASA radar mission to systematically and globally study solid Earth, ice masses, and ecosystems. NISAR will measure ice mass and the land surface motions and changes, ecosystem disturbances, and biomass, elucidating underlying processes and improving fundamental scientific understanding.
NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observatory being jointly developed by NASA and ISRO. NISAR will map the entire globe in 12 days and provide spatially and temporally consistent data for understanding changes in Earth’s ecosystems, ice ...
Jun 26, 2024 · NISAR, the short name for the NASA-ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) Synthetic Aperture Radar mission, will use radar to see through the clouds. It will measure the all of the world’s land and ice twice every 12 days.
Feb 6, 2023 · Jointly developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), an Earth-observation satellite, called NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), got a send-off ceremony at the American space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California on Friday (February 3).
NISAR is a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and ISRO that will map Earth's surface using two different radar frequencies. NISAR can help monitor natural resources, hazards, climate change, and more with unprecedented detail and accuracy.
