NISER – Joint Mission of ISRO and NASA

The ISRO-NASA joint mission NISER (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite, aimed at making international dimension of land floor adjustments using superior radar imaging, is proposed to be launched in early 2023.

dual-band (L-band and S-band) radar imaging mission with the functionality of full polarimetric and interferometric modes of operation to have a look at minor adjustments inland, vegetation and cryosphere.

NASA is creating L-band SAR and related structures, whilst ISRO is creating S-band SAR, spacecraft bus, the launch automobile and associated launch Services. The essential scientific goals of the mission are to enhance the perception of the influence of local weather trade on Earth’s altering Ecosystems, land and coastal processes, land deformations and cryosphere. NISER is one of the integral collaborations of the ISRO and NASA. India and the U.S. had agreed upon this mission in then-President Barack Obama’s go-to India in 2015.
