NASA-ISRO Satellite Successfully Launched to Track Earth’s Changing Surfaces
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite, a joint venture between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has successfully lifted off. Its mission is to provide unprecedentedly detailed radar imagery of Earth’s land surfaces, aiding in the monitoring of climate change impacts, including ice sheet melting, forest changes, and seismic activity. The launch occurred on November 26, 2025, marking a significant step in Earth science observation.
Equipped with dual-frequency radar systems (X-band and S-band), NISAR will detect minute ground movements with remarkable precision. This capability is expected to enhance risk assessments for natural disasters and support the development of sustainable land-use strategies. The collaborative mission underscores a new era of international cooperation in understanding our planet.
