ISRO, in collaboration with NASA, is preparing to launch the NISAR satellite aboard the GSLV-F16 rocket. This mission marks a significant milestone in space cooperation between the two agencies.

Key aspects include the pioneering use of combined L-band and S-band radar frequencies to measure minute changes on the Earth's surface, enhancing the scope of Earth-observing missions.

NISAR will deliver comprehensive data on natural phenomena, including earthquakes, landslides, and glacier dynamics, offering critical insights to support global environmental and safety decision-making processes.
