NASA and ISRO to launch NISAR mission in 2024; know all about it

[ad_1] Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and NASA are preparing to launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission in 2024. Currently, the tests are being conducted before the official launch. NASA JPL reported that the 20-day antenna test was conducted and it passed all the requirements. Now in a media interaction, NASA NISAR Project Manager Phil Barela revealed the progression of the collaborative mission.NISAR mission launchPhil Barela, during the interaction, revealed that the NISAR mission is ready to launch and it will take place in the first quarter of 2024 after conducting a few tests. According to a NASA report, the NISAR mission will have an operation duration of three years during which it will study Earth's wetlands and ice-covered surface every 12 days...

NISAR mission launch date: NASA and ISRO to launch satellite

[ad_1] After ISRO's successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, and various future missions lined up, NASA has revealed a collaboration project with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) which has been named as NISAR mission or NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission. The mission aims to get a detailed view of Earth and study Earth's forest and wetland ecosystems and their impact on climate change. NISAR mission launch date is expected to be finalised for sometime in the next year.About NISAR missionAccording to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) report, the NISAR mission will play a crucial role in studying Earth's global carbon cycle and climate change. NISAR would be the first radar that will map the Earth with the help of two radar frequencies, L-band and S-band. These frequenc...

NASA and ISRO satellite to watch the Earth gets one step closer to launch

[ad_1] NISAR, short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, is all set to ship out to its last stop before launching into orbit. Before its departure, members of the media got a chance to see NISAR's advanced radar instruments up close on February 3 in a clean room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. "It's nearly time for the scientific heart of NISAR – short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar – an Earth science satellite being jointly built by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation, to ship out to its last stop before launching into orbit: southern India," NASA said in a report. “This marks an important milestone in our shared journey to better understand planet Earth and our changing climate,” JPL Director Laurie Leshin said. “NIS...
