ISRO to launch NISAR on July 30
BENGALURU: After the Axiom-4 mission, the next space mission that all space scientists and enthusiasts are waiting for is NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), which will be launched on July 30. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on July 21, announced that the satellite developed in coordination with NASA, is scheduled for launch at 5.40pm from Sriharikota on July 30. The ISRO's GSLV-F16 will launch the NISAR satellite into the 743kms sun- synchronous orbit at an inclination of 98.4 degrees. This is India's first satellite that will observe the Earth with a dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar. Weighing 2,392 kg, the unique satellite will use NASA's 12m unflurable mesh reflector antenna.

ISRO-NASA joint satellite mission NISAR launch on July 30
Chennai, July 21 (UNI) The Indian Space Agency today evening announced that NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), the first joint satellite mission of ISRO and US-based NASA, will be launched on July 30 at 1740 hrs from the spaceport of Sriharikota. The NISAR satellite will be launched by ISRO's GSLV-F16 from the Second Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota. The GSLV-F16 will inject the NISAR satellite into a 743 km Sun-synchronous orbit with an inclination of 98.40 deg. NISAR, weighing 2392 kg, is a unique earth observation satellite and the first satellite to observe the earth with a dual frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (NASA's L-band and ISRO's S-band) both using NASA's 12m unfurlable mesh reflector antenna, integrated to ISRO's modified I3K satellite bus. NISAR will observe earth with a swath of 242 km and high spatial resolution, using SweepSAR technology for the first time. The satellite will scan the entire globe and provide all weather, day and night data at 12-day interval and enable a wide range of applications. NISAR can detect even small changes in the Earth's surface such as ground deformation, ice sheet movement and vegetation dynamics. Further applications include sea ice classification, ship detection, shoreline monitoring, storm characterization, changes in soil moisture, mapping & monitoring of surface water resources and disaster response. The NISAR launch is the result of strong technical cooperation between ISRO & NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory technical teams for more than a decade. MORE UNI GV 1745

Indo-US Earth Radar Mission: NISAR To Finally Lift-Off From Sriharikota On July 30
NISAR has been nearly a decade in the making, with scientists from both India and the United States meticulously developing two scientific payloads for the powerful satellite After a long delay, the much-anticipated Indo-US joint satellite mission, NISAR, is set to launch from Sriharikota at 5:40 pm on July 30, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) confirmed on Monday. The mission will deploy one of the largest and most advanced radar systems in space to provide an unprecedented view of the Earth. The satellite will lift-off on a GSLV-F16 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, and inject it into a 743 km Sun-synchronous orbit with an inclination of 98.4 degrees. Weighing nearly 2392 kg, the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) has been developed jointly by scientists from ISRO as well as NASA. NISAR has been nearly a decade in the making, with scientists from both India and the United States meticulously developing the mission's two scientific payloads — even through the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. While NASA developed the L-band radar for longer-wavelength imaging, ISRO and the Space Applications Centre (SAC) in Ahmedabad built the complementary S-band radar. It is the first satellite to observe the Earth with a dual frequency synthetic aperture radar both using NASA's 12-metre unfurlable mesh reflector antenna integrated to ISRO's modified 13K satellite bus. The powerful satellite will observe Earth with a swath of 242 km and provide high-resolution imagery using SweepSAR technology for the first time, said the space agency. It will scan the entire globe and provide all weather, day and night data at an interval of 12 days. It can even detect small changes in the Earth's surface, any deformation, movement of ice sheets and loss of vegetation. According to the space agency, NISAR will enable a wide range of applications, and help in studies which require classification of sea ice, monitoring of shorelines, changes in soil moisture, mapping and monitoring of surface water resources, as well as characterising storms, and detecting ships in the sea. This will also help in streamlining early disaster response, said ISRO. Initially scheduled for an early 2024 launch, the mission has faced multiple delays after one of its components had to be sent back to the US for corrections. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
