NISAR Earth observation satellite has been successfully launched into orbit today by ISRO’s GSLV-F16 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The NISAR mission liftoff took place today at 5:40 PM IST, following a livestream broadcast on ISRO’s official YouTube channel. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), in partnership with NASA, developed the NISAR satellite to observe land deformation, ice deformation, oceanic regions, and ecosystems across areas important to both Indian and US scientific communities. ISRO noted, “It is an L and S-band, global, microwave imaging mission, with capability to acquire fully polarimetric and interferometric data.” NISAR is a NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission designed to capture images of “global land and ice-covered surfaces, including islands, sea-ice and selected oceans every 12 days.” SpaceX Falcon 9 Successfully Launches 28 Starlink Satellites to Low-Earth Orbit From Florida.
