US EditionIndia and US to Launch NISAR Satellite for High-Resolution Earth Imaging
INDIA, JUL 30 – NISAR, a $1.5 billion joint ISRO-NASA mission, will provide high-resolution radar data every 12 days to aid disaster management, climate monitoring, and natural hazard detection globally.
- NASA and India's ISRO are set to launch the NISAR satellite on July 30, departing Sriharikota's launch facility, to capture high-resolution maps of Earth.
- The collaboration arises from the inaugural major partnership between NASA and ISRO focused on Earth observation satellites to advance scientific data sharing.
- NISAR will use dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar to scan land, ice, and ocean surfaces globally every 12 days, enabling monitoring of environmental and disaster-related changes.
- The 2,392-kilogram satellite will launch on a GSLV rocket, deploying into a sun-synchronous polar orbit about 18.5 minutes after liftoff, and is called NASA's "most sophisticated radar we've ever built."
- The mission's five-year duration will enhance global environmental monitoring and disaster preparedness while symbolizing India's growing prominence in space leadership.
