India launches a first-of-its-kind radar imaging satellite built in collaboration with NASA. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR satellite, will help monitor climate change and natural disasters
V. Narayanan, Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation
"I am extremely happy to announce that GSLV-F16 (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) vehicle has successfully and precisely injected the NASA-ISRO synthetic aperture radar satellite."
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR satellite, is the first such collaboration between the Indian Space Research Organisation and U.S. space agency NASA.
It took off from India's Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 1210 GMT atop a medium-lift rocket, marking a milestone in space cooperation and bolstering India's profile in low-cost, high-impact satellite missions.
NISAR is the world's first radar imaging satellite to use two radar frequencies - the L-band provided by NASA and the S-band developed by ISRO - to track minute changes in the Earth's surface, including movements as small as a centimeter, the space agencies have said.
It will map the planet every 12 days using a 149-mile-wide (240 km) radar swath, offering data to scientists and disaster response agencies to monitor everything from glacier retreat in the Himalayas to potential landslide zones in South America.
