NISAR Mission to Monitor Forests and Wetlands
The NASA-ISRO Radar Satellite Mission, known as NISAR, is scheduled for launch in early 2024 and is a collaborative effort between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). NISAR is equipped with advanced radar systems that will scan nearly all of Earth's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days, providing valuable data on ecosystems, particularly forests and wetlands, crucial in regulating greenhouse gases and understanding their impact on global climate change.
