NISAR: Joint NASA-ISRO Mission Set for Earth Observation
NISAR is a joint project between NASA and India to take detailed pictures of Earth from space.
It's a very expensive satellite that will be launched from India.
The satellite will use special radar to scan almost the entire planet every couple of weeks, helping scientists see tiny changes.
This will help them understand things like climate change and natural disasters.
Scientists all over the world will have access to the information gathered by NISAR, furthering our knowledge of Earth!
NISAR, a joint NASA-ISRO mission, is set to launch from Sriharikota, India.
The satellite will use dual-frequency radar and a large antenna.
NISAR is designed to scan Earth's surface every 12 days, observing changes.
The $1.5 billion satellite aims to provide detailed data on Earth's changes.
Data collected will be freely accessible worldwide for scientific research.
