What is NISAR?
NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a collaborative Earth-observing mission developed by NASA and ISRO. It is designed to monitor changes on Earth's surface with unprecedented precision — including movements of glaciers, forest biomass, groundwater levels, and land subsidence.
Scheduled to launch aboard an Indian GSLV rocket, NISAR carries a dual-frequency radar system (L-band by NASA and S-band by ISRO) to track environmental changes every 12 days. This mission will support climate research, natural disaster management, and agricultural planning on a global scale.
- Detects even minor changes in Earth's crust and vegetation
- Supports disaster response for floods, landslides, and earthquakes
- Enables better agricultural and water resource management
- First major space collaboration between NASA and ISRO
