The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is a unique international collaboration between the United States and India that will help usher in the next generation of space-based Earth science. After launching in 2024, NISAR’s 40-foot-wide reflector will gather precise radar observations of the planet every 12 days, helping scientists study minute motions of Earth’s land and ice surfaces down to fractions of an inch. Measuring movements at this scale can help researchers better understand the dynamics of earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions, in addition to other natural hazards like wildfires and flooding. NISAR will also help researchers study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and glaciers. NISAR is a trailblazer for the Earth System Observatory, a set of NASA satellite missions planned over the next decade that will work together to create a 3D, holistic view of Earth, from bedrock to atmosphere.
