Launch coverage of NISAR, an Earth-observing satellite and the first collaborative mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation.
NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, NISAR for short, is all set to launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The satellite will be aboard India’s largest rocket – the GSLV Mk II, an expendable non-reusable three-stage launch vehicle that is 52 metres or 170 feet in height.
In a statement, former ISRO chairperson K Sivan said NISAR “is a very advanced satellite that can capture even the slightest of the movements on the Earth’s surface. These observations can help them in mapping changes such as volcanic hazards or landslides and prepare in advance. This is a result of a collaboration that started nearly 10 years ago.”
Weighing 2.392 kg, the Earth observation will be launched aboard the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II, or GSLV Mk II rocket for short, with liftoff scheduled for Wednesday, July 30 at 5:40 PM IST.
