NISAR is set to be launched in 2024 by ISRO from southern India.
U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC) in Bengaluru leads ISRO’s component of NISAR and is providing the spacecraft bus, the launch vehicle, associated launch services, and satellite mission operations.
ISRO’s Space Applications Centre in Ahmedabad is providing the S-band SAR electronics for NISAR.
JPL is providing NISAR’s radar reflector antenna, deployable boom, high-rate communication subsystem for science data, GPS receivers, a solid-state recorder, and the payload data subsystem.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed by Caltech in Pasadena, leads the U.S. component of the NISAR project and is providing the mission’s L-band SAR.
NISAR uses a combined L-band radar with a 25-centimeter wavelength and an S-band radar with a 10-centimeter wavelength.
Several missions led by JPL, including Psyche, NISAR, and Europa Clipper, have either launched or are nearing completion, reducing near-term growth needs at the laboratory.
NISAR, a synthetic aperture radar Earth science mission jointly developed by NASA and ISRO, is going through final tests ahead of a launch in spring 2024.
ISRO will launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Earth science mission on a GSLV, with that mission slated for launch on 2024-03-30.
India and the United States will launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) microwave remote sensing satellite for Earth observation in the first quarter of next year.
Bill Nelson will visit Bengaluru-based facilities where the NISAR spacecraft is undergoing testing and integration for launch in 2024.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Earth science mission will use a radar provided by NASA on a spacecraft built by ISRO and is scheduled to launch early next year on an Indian rocket.
NISAR is a Low Earth Orbit observatory jointly developed by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation.
NISAR features a 12-meter-long, drum-shaped, wire-mesh reflector radar antenna that extends from a 30-foot boom.
A U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo plane carried the NISAR payload to Bengaluru.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Earth science mission features a jointly developed SAR payload that will be integrated onto an Indian-built satellite and launched by India in 2024.
ISRO Chairman S. Somanath and other Indian officials visited the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to see the NISAR payload, which is scheduled to be shipped to India in February.
NISAR is the NASA-Indian Space Research Organization Synthetic-Aperture Radar satellite scheduled to launch in 2023.
One planned future GSLV 2021-03-02 launch was intended to carry NISAR, a synthetic aperture radar Earth science mission jointly developed by NASA and ISRO.
Before the 2021-08-11 failure, NISAR was scheduled to launch in early 2023.
