The launch of the joint U.S.-Indian radar spacecraft NISAR will likely be delayed to the second half of the year due to the addition of a reflective coating on its large deployable antenna, which is necessary to protect it from higher-than-anticipated temperatures in its stowed configuration during flight. This delay will allow for the application of the coating and shipping of the antenna from India to California and back. NISAR represents a significant collaboration between NASA and ISRO, with NASA alone investing over $1 billion in the mission's development.

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.

The joint NASA-ISRO NISAR satellite, a trailblazing Earth-observing radar satellite, has successfully completed a 21-day thermal vacuum test in Bengaluru, India. The test evaluated the satellite's ability to function in extreme temperatures and the vacuum of space. Scheduled to launch in early 2024, NISAR will monitor the motion of Earth's land and ice, track dynamic changes in forests and agricultural lands, and observe movements from earthquakes and volcanic activity. This collaboration between NASA and ISRO marks the first time the two agencies have cooperated on hardware development for an Earth-observing mission.

NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are collaborating on the development of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite, set to launch in 2024. NISAR will continuously scan Earth's surface using radar, with a focus on tracking changes in landscapes over time. The satellite will observe Earth's forests and wetlands, crucial carbon sinks that play a role in mitigating climate change. NISAR aims to provide a comprehensive view of how Earth's land and ice are changing, helping scientists better understand carbon sources and sinks from terrestrial ecosystems.

The NASA-ISRO NISAR radar satellite mission, set to launch in early 2024, will provide detailed insights into forests and wetlands, crucial ecosystems for regulating greenhouse gases and combating climate change. By scanning Earth's land and ice surfaces every 12 days, NISAR will track changes in forest density and wetland flooding, helping researchers understand the capture and release of carbon. The data collected will improve our understanding of deforestation's impact on the carbon cycle and aid in the management of wetland ecosystems. NISAR will also monitor land motion, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the melting of glaciers and sea ice.
