Nisar Mission / NASA and ISRO will jointly launch Nisar, this mission will give indication of every danger in advance

Nisar Mission: NASA and ISRO together are preparing to launch Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), this mission will be launched in 2024 which will monitor the Earth and study the changes happening in the environment and provide information about earthquakes and other disasters. Currently the mission is being tested, recently a 20-day antenna test has been completed. On Tuesday, this was revealed by Laurie Leeson, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.

According to NASA JPL Director Laurie Leeson, NISAR is to be launched in 2024, it has been jointly prepared by the Indian Space Research Organization i.e. ISRO and NASA which will study the Earth. This will be the first time that both the countries are formally working with each other on such a big mission. It is said that this mission will be launched in the first quarter of 2024, whose duration will be about three months.

What is NISAR?

NISAR is a radar machine that will monitor the earth's surface. So that it can be known what kind of changes are taking place in the earth's surface. Actually, the space agencies of India and America want to understand how the environment is changing. According to Laurie Lesson, this will help in knowing how the mangrove environment on the sea coasts is changing. That is, how the ice sheets are changing and how earthquakes and volcanoes are working all over the world. The Nisar satellite will weigh 2600 kg. Which will predict the weather around the world. It will tell in advance in which area an earthquake, tsunami or landslide is going to occur.

Will be launched from Sriharikota in 2024

This mission of NASA and ISRO will go to low earth orbit. It will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota in the first quarter of 2024. Currently its testing is going on. According to Laurie Lesson, it will be launched from GSLV i.e. Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark-II. This mission will last for three years and will study the ice-covered surface of the Earth every 12 days.

Scientists are excited

According to NASA JPL Director Laurie Leeson, it was a very exciting experience that NASA and ISRO colleagues worked together in Bengaluru. During this period, the scientists of both the countries cooperated with each other a lot. With good teamwork, the scientists of both the countries learned a lot from each other. Leshan claimed that after NISAR, NASA and ISRO are also eager to work in Mars and Moon missions.
