India-US NISAR satellite set for launch from Sriharikota today
NISAR, which stands for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, will be the first satellite to use dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar to observe the Earth. It combines NASA’s L-band radar with ISRO’s S-band radar, enabling high-resolution imaging of the Earth’s surface regardless of time of day or weather conditions.
