Nelson will visit several locations in India, including the Bengaluru-based facilities where the NISAR spacecraft, a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is undergoing testing and integration for launch in 2024. <a href=\"https:\/\/nisar.jpl.nasa.gov\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NISAR<\/a> is short for NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first satellite mission between NASA and ISRO, NISAR is a revolutionary Earth-observing instrument, the first in the Earth System Observatory, that will measure Earth\u2019s changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses providing information about biomass, natural hazards, sea level rise, and groundwater, key information to guide efforts related to climate change, hazard mitigation, agriculture, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in the UAE, Nelson will participate in the <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/cop28\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference<\/a>, highlighting NASA\u2019s role as a global leader in providing decisionmakers with critical Earth-science data. It will be the first time a NASA administrator will have attended the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students in each country also will have the opportunity to meet with Nelson to discuss science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and their roles as members of the Artemis Generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about NASA\u2019s international partnerships,
