ISRO is providing the S-band radar, and launch services.
NISAR is a Synthetic Aperture Radar that can produce extremely high-resolution images for a joint earth observation satellite mission.
It will be the first satellite mission to use 2 radar frequencies (L-band and S-band) to measure changes in Earth’s surface less than a centimetre across.
NISAR will observe Earth’s land and ice-covered surfaces, sampling Earth on average every 6 days for a baseline 3-year mission.
Radar penetrates clouds and darkness, enabling NISAR to collect data day and night in any weather.
