NISAR: Dual-SAR Earth Observation Satellite Launches End 2022

NISAR: Dual-SAR Earth Observation Satellite Launches End 2022

NISAR: Dual-SAR Earth Observation Satellite Launches End 2022 The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) mission, a joint effort leveraging the expertise of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is poised for launch in late December 2022 or early 2023. NISAR employs a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system – L-band (JPL) and S-band (ISRO) – to provide unprecedented high-resolution, global monitoring of Earth’s surface changes. This includes detecting movements as small as 0.4 inches across areas…
