NASA collaborated with ISRO to jointly develop the NISAR satellite, a pioneering Earth-observation mission designed to capture high-quality polarimetric and interferometric data using advanced microwave imaging in both L-band and S-band. With a mission life of five years, it is engineered to study critical environmental aspects such as land and ice erosion, land ecosystems, and marine regions. The mission supports research areas of mutual importance to the United States and India, enabling scientists from both nations to better understand planetary changes, natural hazards, and climate-related transformations through continuous, global-scale monitoring.
