Nisar will be placed in orbit around the Earth, at a height of about 743km. It will produce an enormous volume of high-resolution data daily, providing critical insights for scientists, disaster management authorities, policymakers and environmental researchers.
Space scientist and professor RC Kapoor has lauded Nisar as “the most advanced Earth observation satellite” to date.
Speaking to ANI ahead of the launch of the Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar, Kapoor said, “It’s a major collaboration between two great agencies, Nasa and Isro. It’s going to be placed in orbit around the Earth, at a height of about 743km. It will scan the entire Earth in about 12 days.”
The scientist added that Nisar will produce an enormous volume of high-resolution data daily, providing critical insights for scientists, disaster management authorities, policymakers, and environmental researchers.
He further stated, “It will generate a tremendous amount of data per day, which will be greatly useful to many decision makers, disaster managers, and others who want to make a detailed study of the Earth. As of today, it is going to be the most advanced Earth observation satellite.”
