The NISAR satellite is a joint Earth observation mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States. The acronym NISAR stands for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar.
– NISAR is a collaborative project between the space agencies of India (ISRO) and the USA (NASA).
– It is designed to map the Earth’s surface using advanced radar technology (Synthetic Aperture Radar).
– The mission aims to study ecosystems, ice mass, vegetation biomass, sea level rise, groundwater, and natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and landslides.
NISAR is expected to be one of the most expensive Earth science satellites ever built. It will use two radar frequencies (L-band and S-band) to provide detailed information about the Earth’s land and ice surfaces. The satellite was assembled and underwent testing in India before being shipped to the US for final integration and launch preparations.
