NASA Set to Launch Groundbreaking Satellite
INDIA, JUL 30 – NISAR satellite will provide high-resolution, all-weather Earth data every 12 days to support natural hazard monitoring, climate change research, and disaster response, officials said.
- NASA and ISRO will jointly launch the NISAR Earth-observation satellite on July 30 from Sriharikota, India, aboard the GSLV-F16 rocket.
- This launch follows over a decade of technical cooperation to build a satellite equipped with dual-frequency synthetic aperture radars for detailed Earth monitoring.
- NISAR will use L-band and S-band radars to monitor surface changes on land and ice, aiding in disaster observation, agricultural planning, and ecosystem assessment worldwide.
- The satellite will scan Earth every 12 days, generating about 80 terabytes of daily data, making it NASA’s largest data-collection mission to date, with all data openly accessible.
- This mission will provide critical insights on natural hazards and environmental changes, potentially improving disaster preparedness and resilience globally.
