NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar Earth-observation satellite
NISAR is a joint NASA-ISRO Earth-observation spacecraft built to measure changes in land, ice, and ecosystems with complementary L-band and S-band synthetic-aperture radars. Its wide-swath, repeated global observations support research and practical monitoring of deformation, glaciers, forests, wetlands, agriculture, and natural hazards.
