ISRO & NASA to launch joint Earth observation satellite NISAR between July 16 – August 14.

The upcoming launch of NISAR, a joint ISRO-NASA satellite mission set for July 16–August 14, 2025, designed to monitor global climate shifts, seismic activity, and land changes using advanced L- and S-band radar, building on ISRO's successful GSLV-F16 rocket technology.

This collaboration marks a significant step in India-U.S. space cooperation, with the NISAR mission expected to provide data critical for climate research, supported by peer-reviewed studies like those from the Journal of Geophysical Research, which emphasize radar's role in detecting subtle Earth surface changes.

The NOTAM issuance reflects strategic coordination to ensure launch safety, a process informed by historical data from ISRO’s 2021 GSLV-F10 failure, showcasing how past lessons enhance current mission reliability.
