NASA-ISRO’s NISAR Satellite to Launch on July 30

The groundbreaking NISAR satellite mission will launch on July 30 from Sriharikota, jointly developed by NASA and ISRO

NISAR is the world’s first radar mission to use both L-band and S-band frequencies for comprehensive Earth observation

The satellite will map Earth's land and ice surfaces every 12 days, providing unmatched detail and accuracy

The mission represents a major India-U.S. partnership in space, combining NASA’s technology with ISRO’s launch expertise

Equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar, NISAR can see through clouds and vegetation, detecting changes in Earth’s surface

NISAR will provide near-real-time data during earthquakes, floods, and landslides, helping emergency managers respond faster

All NISAR data will be freely available to scientists worldwide, supporting climate, agriculture, and environmental studies
