The NISAR mission is a joint venture between NASA and ISRO, launching a 2,392-kg satellite into orbit using ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. The satellite uses dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology to penetrate clouds and vegetation for continuous data collection. NISAR will aid in disaster management, climate change monitoring, resource mapping, and resource management.
