ISRO-Nasa Nisar Mission: Projection of GSLV-F16
Sriharikota: ISRO’s statement about the launch of GSLV-F16 and NISAR has been revealed. ISRO said, “The day of launching of GSLV-F16 and NISAR has come. GSLV-F16 stands firmly at its designated place. NISAR is ready. This will be a launch from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh at 5:40 pm today.”
Why is the launch?
This work is being done as a historical step for global Earth observation. NASA-Israo Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite will be launched on 30 July 2025 from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota via GSLV-F16 rocket.
This satellite jointly developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the US National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) is designed to provide high-resolution of the Earth, in all seasons, day-to-night photos.
What is the specialty of Nisar?
Operated from 2,392 kg weighing and dual-frequency radar systems (L-Band and S-Band), will provide almost real-time figures on disasters, climate changes and ecological changes. This mission is expected not only to benefit from India and the US, but also to help in global decisions and emergency feedback efforts.
Nisar (NASA-Israo synthetic aperture radar) is the first major Earth observation satellite developed jointly by the United States and India. This mission is a proof of a decade -old strategic partnership between NASA and ISRO, showing how international cooperation can create a global influence -edge science. The satellite associates NASA’s L-Band radar, which is capable of penetrating flora and forest umbrellas, with the S-band radar of ISRO, which is better suited for monitoring soil and superficial changes. This dual frequency capacity gives Nisar a unique edge in detection of different events of the Earth with unmatched accuracy.
