NISAR: Tracking Earth’s Changes From Space (Mission Overview)
NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) have teamed up to create a powerful new space mission that will track our changing Earth in fine detail. The satellite, called NISAR, will use an advanced radar system to deepen our understanding of deforestation, shrinking glaciers and sea ice loss, natural hazards, climate change, and other global vital signs.
Short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, NISAR features two radar instruments: one from ISRO, and one built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Peering through cloud cover and vegetation, the satellite will bounce radar signals off nearly all the planet’s land and ice twice every 12 days, monitoring motions of the surface down to fractions of an inch along with changes in other characteristics.
NISAR is undergoing final integration and testing at ISRO’s satellite facility in Bengaluru, India, and will launch from ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. Launch is expected in early 2024; the specific date will be announced by ISRO.

Thank you NASA (The U.S.) & ISRO (India) for all your efforts.
Hello, i have a viedeo about the first austranout, please watch this video because IT is serial and next videos very soon, tomorrow
It's always fantastic to see two space agencies working together! Can't wait for launch!
It is about 40 days to go for launch
Salute to our iSRO scientist and their work
India's ISRO working for its people and the entire humanity.
India Pakistan brothers for centuries! 😘😘😘
our planet is a living entity. if we were to disappear earth would heal herself. 🌎
The ability to find and predict earthquakes is a very good thing. And the rest!
Love the promise of this large overview
Wow❤

Beautiful stuff
Good work 👏💯
INTERESANTE INICIAR EL AÑO 2024 CONOCIENDO DE ESTOS TEMAS
❤❤❤❤❤
NASA Is the future of the Earth AND the humanity
So interesting! Would love to work on a project like this.

I wish the they have used the GSLV mark3 instead of GSLV mk2
Yes it also reduce the risk of failure as LVM3 rocket never failed
GSLV MK2 is now a stable launch vehicle/ rocket, 10 successful total launches out of 16 so far out of which 4 we're failures, ISRO has sorted out all the issues

Why is our planet changing?
Hello, i have a viedeo about the first austranout, please watch this video because IT is serial and next videos very soon, tomorrow
the Earth changes naturally due to many environmental factors. however, in recent times human pollution has caused an increase in global warming, which has caused certain thing to increase (sea level, ice melting, droughts, etc..)
How about all the rich people and wealthy nations built homes for every family on earth and gave them some bank balances so that the danger for early is low.
and you first earn a billion, and then try to give it away
HOW ABOUT A TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR WITHOUT BLASTING THE EARDRUMS OF WHALES & DOLPHINS??? THIS ACTIVITY MUST END!!!
Yelling never helps.
HOW ABOUT TAKING YOUR CAPS LOCK COMPLAINING TO AN ORGANIZATION WHICH ACTUALLY MAPS THE OCEAN FLOOR? 🙄
Like what for example? Although ye sonars can be absolutely horrible.
@TheStockwell There are some NASA projects that do bathymetry, but nothing to my knowledge that uses sonar so OP's complaint is definitely in the wrong video.
HEY, WHAT ABOUT MULTIPLE SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC DRONE BOATS WITH SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY, ROAMING ON OCEAN SURFACES TO MAP OUR OCEANS?
