Indian Area Analysis Organisation (ISRO) and NASA launched the NISAR satellite tv for pc aboard the GSLV-F16 went on July 30, 2025, at 5:40 p.m. After 18 minutes later it injected its satellite tv for pc into the orbit of the Solar. It has efficiently and precisely injected the NISAR satellite tv for pc, which weighs 2,392 kg, into its meant orbit, as stated by V. Narayanan, the chairman of ISRO. This satellite tv for pc has a lifetime of 5 years and is the primary satellite tv for pc which has been developed by ISRO in collaboration with NASA.

According to the Deputy Affiliate Administrator at NASA, NISAR will present choice makers with the instruments for monitoring the essential infrastructure, which responds sooner and is sensible sufficient to foretell pure disasters reminiscent of floods, landslides and earthquakes, and in addition map farm land to boost the output of the crops and additional.

NISAR’s Functions

NISAR goes to scan the Earth and supply all-weather, evening and day knowledge at an interval of 12 hours and permit a variety of functions. It may possibly even detect minute adjustments on the Earth’s floor, together with ice sheet motion, floor deformation and vegetation. Moreover, it consists of ship detection, sea ice classification, shoreline monitoring, adjustments in soil moisture, mapping of water assets floor, catastrophe response and storm characterisation.

NASA reported that the spacecraft supplies indicators for mission controllers for the NASA-ISRO NISAR mission. NISAR goes to look at Earth at a swath of 242 km and a excessive decision with the assistance of SweepSAR expertise for the primary time.

The launch section of the GLSV-F16 rocket was achieved on July 30, 2025, and on the time of the deployment section, a 12-meter reflector antenna will deploy in orbit, which shall be at 9 meters from the satellite tv for pc by the complicated multistage deployable growth. This course of will begin on the tenth day after the launch. Additional, the commissioning section shall be adopted, which goes to be 90 days.

Reduction to ISRO

It’s actually a form of aid to launch the satellite tv for pc efficiently by ISRO in collaboration with NASA, because the earlier launch on Might 18, 2025, wasn’t achieved due to a glitch. Previous to this, the NVS-02 satellite additionally suffered a setback on January 29, 2025.
