Edit by : Universal Khabar
In one of the most anticipated global space collaborations of the year, ISRO and NASA are preparing to launch the NISAR satellite on July 30. The launch will take place from India’s Sriharikota launch center, combining the strengths of two of the world’s leading space agencies.
What Is NISAR?
NISAR stands for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar. It’s not just another satellite—it’s a smart Earth observer built to track minute changes across our planet. From glacier movements in Antarctica to ground shifts caused by earthquakes, NISAR will keep a constant watch.
What makes it powerful?
- Dual-frequency radar system (L-band from NASA, S-band from ISRO)
- Ability to track earthquakes, floods, soil movement, and deforestation
- Precision-based 3D imaging of Earth's surface—updated weekly
Why ISRO + NASA Is a Big Deal
Both space agencies have brought their best technology to the table:
- NASA developed the core radar and communication systems
- ISRO provided the spacecraft platform, launch services, and integration
- Together, they’re delivering one of the most advanced Earth science missions ever
- This is the first mission where two space agencies are using radar of this scale to monitor the planet's environment in real time.
How Will It Help Humanity?
NISAR isn’t just about space—it’s about Earth.
This satellite will:
- Help scientists predict natural disasters before they happen
- Monitor agriculture, groundwater, and forest density
- Track the impact of climate change, including sea level rise
- Support smart planning for cities, rivers, and coasts
In short, NISAR will give decision-makers the data they need to make our planet safer and more sustainable.
