The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a joint NASA / ISRO mission to make global integrated measurements of the causes and consequences of land surface changes.NISAR will study highly spatial and temporally complex processes ranging from ecosystem disturbances, to ice sheet collapse and natural hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and landslides.

Spacecraft: Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Launch Vehicle: United Launch Alliance Atlas V Launch Location: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida Launch Pad: Space Launch Complex 41 Launch Date: March 12 Launch Time: 10:44 p.m. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar on an Earth observation satellite. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar on an Earth observation satellite.The satellite will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual frequencies. NISAR Mission Concept Overview •Major partnership between US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) •Baseline launch date: No earlier than December 2020 •Dual frequency L- and S-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) •L-band SAR from NASA and S-band SAR from ISRO Artemis 1 (officially Artemis I) is a planned uncrewed test flight for NASA's Artemis program that is the first integrated flight of the agency's Orion MPCV and Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket.

Figure 2 and Table 1 provide a high-level ISRO and NASA are jointly working on the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission to co-develop and launch a dual frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite by 2021..

The Isro-NASA joint venture satellite mission was on course for 2021 launch on-board an Indian launch vehicle, said a senior official with the US space agency, adding they were interested in sending a These phases are: launch, commissioning, science operations, and decommissioning. It will be used for remote sensing, to observe and understand natural processes on Earth. Epochs may be referred to with respect to the date and time of launch as "L+" or "L-" for time periods either after or prior to the time of liftoff respectively. The satellite will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual frequencies. NISAR is currently scheduled to launch in late 2021 and to have a minimum mission lifetime of three years with consumables up to 15 years.

Formerly known as Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), the mission was renamed after the introduction of the Artemis program.

The satellite will be the world’s most expensive earth-imaging satellite till date, costing around $1.5 billion.

It aims to study global environmental change and natural disasters.
