The NISAR satellite — a joint mission between Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and NASA — will be formally declared operational on 7 November 2025, ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan announced. Launched on 30 July 2025 weighing 2,400 kg, NISAR carries both L-Band and S-Band synthetic aperture radar sensors, enabling global land and ice-surface imaging every 12 days—even through clouds and at night. ISRO confirms data calibration is complete and a conclave is scheduled where NISAR’s science-phase commencement will be declared.
