The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission represents a landmark partnership between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Scheduled for launch in June 2025, this Earth observation satellite will use advanced dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar to monitor key environmental changes such as ice sheet melting, forest cover dynamics, and seismic activity. The mission is designed to deliver highly precise data, capable of detecting surface changes as small as 1 cm, making it instrumental for tracking natural disasters and climate impacts. ISRO’s role in this collaboration includes contributing to the launch vehicle and vital payload components, reinforcing its global standing in space science.
