ISRO Releases NISAR S-Band SAR Data
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has made special satellite data available to the public.
This data comes from a satellite called NISAR, which works with NASA.
NISAR takes pictures of Earth's surface using special radar technology.
The data is useful for studying disasters, the environment, farming, and more.
People can access this data through a portal called Bhoonidhi.
The data is being updated and will include older information in the future.
Scientists and researchers can use this data for their work.
ISRO has released NISAR S-band SAR data for public access through the Bhoonidhi portal.
NISAR is a dual-frequency radar satellite providing high-resolution imaging of Earth's surface.
Data products include standard SAR datasets, interferometric products, and pixel offset products.
The data supports applications like disaster management, environmental monitoring, and agriculture.
Registered users can search, visualize, and download NISAR datasets through the Bhoonidhi portal.
