Workers prepare the NISAR satellite, a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), inside a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California on February 3, 2023. - The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite will measure changes in Earth’s surface topography and create high-resolution images to track the evolution of Earth’s crust, observe the flow rates of glaciers, the dynamics of earthquakes and volcanos, studying climate change, and changes to croplands



An earth-observation satellite jointly developed by NASA and ISRO that will help study Earth’s land and ice surfaces in greater detail is all set to be shipped to India later this month for a possible launch in September.



ISRO Chairman S Somanath visited NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in the US state of California on Friday to oversee the final electrical testing of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite before being shipped to India.



“This mission will be a powerful demonstration of the capability of radar as a science tool and help us study Earth’s dynamic land and ice surfaces in greater detail than ever before,” Somanath said at the formal send-off ceremony organised at the JPL which was attended by senior scientists from the two space agencies.



Later this month, the SUV-size payload will be moved into a special cargo container for a 14,000-kilometer flight to the U. R. Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru.
