Here is a Great news for NASA and ISRO lovers The US and the Indian space agencies have started work on their joint project, the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR, mission, confirmed a senior official with the US space agency, adding that it was on course for a 2021 launch from India onboard a GSLV.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR, satellite will provide an unprecedented detailed view of Earth by using advanced radar imaging.
The satellite is designed to observe and take measurements of some of the earth's most complex processes, including ecosystem disturbances, ice-sheet collapse, and natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides.
Under the terms of the agreement, the NISAR satellite would have US-made L-band radar and S-band by ISRO.
“We started putting hardware together and working with Isro on various components that it is building. L-band will be shipped here for integration. We have also started building all those components that will make the spacecraft,” General Larry D James, Deputy Director, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA, said on Tuesday. Hope for best result
