"NISAR Satellite Launch Delayed for Additional Coating: ISRO-NASA Mission Update"

The launch readiness date of the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar (Nisar) satellite will be determined at the end of April, with a key component being returned to the US for additional coating to mitigate potential temperature issues. The reflector, a crucial part of the satellite, will be sent to California for the application of a special coating to limit temperature increases. Once the coating's thermal performance is verified, a launch readiness date will be set, and the reflector will be integrated onto the satellite in India. Nisar is a collaborative Earth-observing mission between Nasa and Isro, aiming to provide powerful measurements of Earth's evolving surface.
