Space scientist and professor RC Kapoor has lauded Nisar as "the most advanced Earth observation satellite" to date.
Speaking to ANI ahead of the launch of the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar, Kapoor said, "It's a major collaboration between two great agencies, Nasa and Isro. It's going to be placed in orbit around the Earth, at a height of about 743km. It will scan the entire Earth in about 12 days."
The scientist added that Nisar will produce an enormous volume of high-resolution data daily, providing critical insights for scientists, disaster management authorities, policymakers, and environmental researchers.
He further stated, "It will generate a tremendous amount of data per day, which will be greatly useful to many decision makers, disaster managers, and others who want to make a detailed study of the Earth. As of today, it is going to be the most advanced Earth observation satellite."
