Earth observation NISAR satellite will be launched on July 30, says ISRO chairman
ISRO President V Naranan, unique world observation satellite NASA-iso synthetic diaphragm radar (NISAR) will be started on July 30 via GSLV-S16, he said.
Nisar, weighing 2,392 kg, was a unique land observation, and both of them observed for the first time with NASA’s 12M’s 12M of an incomprehensible knit reflector antennae, the first time with the two-frequency synthetic diaphragm radar (NASA’s L-Band and Isro’s S-Band).
According to the Space Agency, using Suppsar technology for the first time, an area of 242 km and will observe Earth with high spatial resolution.
Sriharikota will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Center.
The President of the Indian Space Research Organization V Naranan said, “The World Observation Satellite, which was developed jointly by ISRO and NASA, will be sent to space by the GSLV-F16 rocket held in India on 30 July,” he said.
It will be released 740 km away. In all weather conditions, 24 hours a day can take photos of the world and detect satellite landslides, help disaster management, and monitor climate change.
“Satellite India will benefit the United States and the whole world.
India’s human space flight mission in Gaganyaan Nedenan, a humanoid named Vyommitra, said that in December this year, he said. After proved to be successful, two tasks that had not been issued two more tasks next year would be initiated.
Following success, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, the Gaganiaan mission will be launched in March 2027.
Jitendra Singh will love the international collaborations of the ‘Nisar’ launch Isro
Minister of Science and Technology. Jitendra Singh announced that the highly anticipated launch of the NASA-ISRO synthetic diaphragm radar (Nisar) satellite mission was planned from Sriharikota from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on July 30, 2025 in 17:40 hours.
As the first common world observation mission between the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the event pointed to a decisive moment in the journey of Indo-US space cooperation and at the same time in general international collaborations. The task will be launched in India’s GSLV-F16 rocket.
Bay Singh, who closely monitors the mission, said that the launch reflects the maturation of strategic scientific partnerships and the emergence of India as a reliable global player in advanced world observation systems. While the Minister expressed his desire to be physically in Sriharikota to witness the historical event, he acknowledged that the ongoing parliamentary session could keep him in Delhi.
“This task is not only about a satellite launch-it is a moment that symbolizes that two democracy that undertakes to theology and global welfare can accomplish together. Nisar will not only serve India and the USA, but will also provide critical data for countries around the world, especially in disaster management, agriculture and air conditioning.
Mr. Singh also said that this mission is experiencing the vision of being ‘Vishwa Bandhu’, a global partner who contributed to the vision of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to the vision of India and the collective good of humanity.
A main feature of the mission is to make all the data produced by NISAR to make it almost real timely accessible after observation within one to two days and in emergencies. This democratization of data is expected to support global scientific research and decision -making for developing countries without access to similar abilities.
In particular, the Nisar mission is used for the first time to place a satellite in a GSLV rocket, solar synchronized polar orbit, and indicates the complexity of the technical complexity that has grown in supporting various space tasks of Isro. The double radar load in Nisar will use Suppsar technology to view all weather conditions and night view of the world surface with a large 242 kilometer area.
The Minister of the Union also underlined the importance of world observation duties in the context of climate flexibility and sustainable development. “Tasks such as Nisar are no longer limited to scientific curiosity – they are effective in planning, risk assessment and policy intervention. As climate change effects intensify, the correct data from satellites such as Nisar and the correct data will be indispensable for governments to act proactive.”
While the mission has seen a long pregnancy period and a common investment exceeding $ 1.5 billion for more than a decade, the return is expected to be a transformative in terms of global benefit and technological progress. Nisar’s launch is closely monitored by space agencies, environmental researchers and policy makers around the world.
When the countdown began on July 30, Dr. Jitendra Singh reiterated that India’s space program under the guidance of Prime Minister Modi has been constantly passing through traditional benefit -based tasks to those who position the country as contributing information to global customers. “Nisar is not only a satellite, but the scientific hands of India with the world,” he said.
