NASA Set to Launch Groundbreaking Satellite
SRIHARIKOTA, INDIA, JUL 30 – NISAR will scan Earth every 12 days with dual-frequency radar to track natural hazards and environmental changes, generating about 80 terabytes of data daily, NASA and ISRO said.
- NASA and ISRO jointly launched the NISAR satellite on July 30, 2025, using a GSLV rocket from ISRO’s launch facility located on the southeastern coast of India.
- This mission, proposed in 2014, represents a 50/50 partnership building on over a decade of collaboration to develop advanced radar technology.
- NISAR carries dual-frequency L-band and S-band synthetic aperture radars that scan Earth's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days to detect tiny surface changes.
- The satellite is expected to produce roughly 80 terabytes of data each day to support disaster management, monitor volcanic activity, glaciers, agriculture, and ecosystems worldwide, with all data made publicly accessible.
- NISAR's launch advances U.S.-India scientific cooperation and promises to improve natural hazard prediction, resource management, and climate monitoring worldwide.
