The most advanced Earth-observing satellite, a $1.5 billion joint mission by NASA and ISRO, is about to revolutionize climate change monitoring. Get ready for unprecedented insights into our planet's health! From detecting centimeter-level changes in glaciers to seeing through clouds, NISAR's innovative radar technology will provide vital data for global climate research and disaster preparedness. A monumental partnership between the US and India, NISAR embodies global scientific effort to safeguard our future. Learn how this satellite will transform our understanding of Earth. #SpaceCollaboration #ClimateAction #NISAR
00:00The Earth's New Eyes. For over a decade, NASA and EYES-RO have been working on the world's most expensive Earth observation satellite, NISOR. It's designed to monitor the effects of climate change, and is the most advanced Earth imaging satellite ever made.
00:16Costing over $1.5 billion, NISOR is equipped with a synthetic aperture radar that uses microwave signals to create detailed images of Earth's surface.
00:28Unlike optical satellites, NISOR can operate day or night and under any weather conditions. This makes it a powerful tool for observing changes in glaciers, forests, and other parts of the environment.
00:40The satellite will be launched on July 30 from the Satish Jawan Space Center in India. The launch window is from 5.40 p.m. local time to 6.40 p.m. local time.
00:51You see? NISOR is a joint venture between NASA and ISRO. And this launch is a testament to the two countries' close relationship and their shared commitment to advancing space exploration and research.
01:04Once in space, NISOR will orbit the Earth every 12 days, scanning the entire land and ice surface with a resolution of less than a centimeter.
01:14This will allow scientists to detect even the smallest changes in our planet's environment.
01:19And the data will be freely available to the global scientific community.
