The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are developing the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, now planned for launch in 2023. The mission will map Earth’s surface every 12 days, on ascending and descending portions of the orbit, over all land and ice-covered surfaces. The mission’s primary objectives will be to study Earth land and ice deformation, and ecosystems, and support applications that benefit from systematic observations such as infrastructure monitoring, agriculture, soil moisture, and disaster response.
