NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Satellite
The launch of the NISAR satellite, a collaborative project between NASA and ISRO, has been delayed until after February 2025 due to ongoing work on its large deployable antenna and specific orbit-related needs. NISAR, a $1 billion project, aims to enhance Earth observation by monitoring glacier movements, volcanic activity, and other phenomena. The delay stems from the need to apply a special coating to the 12-meter antenna to manage temperature change issues. Once launched, NISAR will map the entire Earth every 12 days, supporting climate change studies and demonstrating significant international cooperation in space research.
