NASA announced that NISAR, the advanced earth observation satellite developed by India and the US, is set to launch in March 2025. With dual-frequency radar, NISAR will monitor planetary changes with precision, aiding in climate change understanding and disaster response. It will provide high-resolution images and track surface changes, benefiting global natural resource management.
Observations from NISAR will benefit humanity by helping researchers around the world better understand changes in the Earth’s surface, including its ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice. It will also capture changes in its forest and wetland ecosystems as well as movement and deformation of the Earth’s crust such as earthquakes, landslides and volcanic activity, Nasa said.
