Q. What is the name of the Earth observation satellite developed by NASA and ISRO?
Answer: NISAR
Notes: The ISRO-NASA joint satellite, NISAR, is now scheduled for launch in March 2025. It was initially planned for early 2024 but faced delays due to technical issues. It will provide critical data on natural hazards and climate change effects, mapping the globe every 12 days. With advanced radar capabilities, NISAR can collect data day and night, enhancing disaster response and resource management. This collaboration reflects a significant milestone in US-India space relations, initiated in 2014, to address global environmental challenges through innovative technology and open-access data.
