India-US Space Cooperation: NISAR—Tracking Earth’s Changing Surface | NASA
A new Earth science satellite will soon provide insights into natural hazards, ecosystems, agriculture, and other fields of study that affect communities around the globe. The NISAR mission is a collaboration between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It will use radar to track Earth’s changing surface in fine detail.
Short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), NISAR features an advanced radar system with two instruments: one from ISRO and one built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Using radar enables NISAR to map Earth’s land and ice surfaces day or night, regardless of whether skies are cloudy or clear.
NISAR will launch from ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India.
Launch is targeted for July 2025.

NISAR is the first-ever collaboration between NASA and ISRO on an Earth-observing mission. JPL, managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, leads the U.S. component of the project and is providing the mission’s L-band SAR. NASA is also providing the radar reflector antenna, the deployable boom, a high-rate communication subsystem for science data, GPS receivers, a solid-state recorder, and payload data subsystem. ISRO is providing the spacecraft bus, the S-band SAR, the launch vehicle, and associated launch services and satellite mission operations.
