Former ISRO scientist has hailed the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission as a landmark achievement that will highlight India’s advanced space engineering on the world stage. Scheduled for launch on July 30, 2025, from Sriharikota aboard the GSLV-F16, NISAR marks the first GSLV flight into Sun-Synchronous Orbit. The $1.5 billion satellite will provide critical Earth observation data using dual-frequency radars developed by both NASA and ISRO. The mission will aid global climate monitoring, disaster response, and Earth science research, reinforcing India's growing influence in international space collaborations and open-source scientific advancement.
