NISAR Will Help Global Community Monitor Earth Changes: ISRO Chairman V Narayanan

The highly anticipated NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission is set to launch on July 30 at 5:40 PM from Sriharikota aboard the GSLV-F16 rocket. Developed through over a decade of collaboration between ISRO and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NISAR is the first Earth observation mission to carry a dual-band radar system (NASA’s L-band and ISRO’s S-band). It aims to revolutionize the way we monitor Earth’s land, ice, and natural disasters. The satellite, weighing 2,392 kg, will use SweepSAR technology to capture high-resolution, all-weather data every 12 days. This marks a milestone as the 102nd launch from Indian soil and will significantly benefit global scientific and disaster mitigation efforts.#nisar #isro #nasa #gslvf16 #earthobservation #radarsatellite #spacecollaboration #naturaldisasters #satellitelaunch #indiaspace #sweepsar #isronasa #nasaisro #spaceinnovation
