The satellite NISAR, prepared with the historical collaboration of the US space agency NASA and the Indian space agency ISRO, has successfully entered the Sun Allorers and now its commissioning process has begun. Under this procedure, the Nisar satellite will be strictly examined for the Earth’s study and the orbital adjustment will be made.
The commissioning process will take time
The NISAR satellite was launched on 30 July from Srihari Space Station in Andhra Pradesh from ISRO’s rocket GSLV-F16. Garald W Bawden, Program Manager of Natural Disaster Research at NASA, said that ‘Nisar has been installed at an altitude of 737 km and we will actually have to rise up to 747 km and it will take about 45-50 days to complete the work.’ He said that after the commissioning is complete, the satellite radar will become active and they will start sending pictures and real time data of the earth.

Increasing cooperation between ISRO and NASA
Bawden said that we will get a lot of data from Nisar Mission and it will be the highest data of any NASA mission so far. On the joint mission with ISRO and the learning from ISRO, Bawden said that NASA learned that ISRO focuses on how to do good to society with the help of science. At the same time, ISRO learned from NASA from his deep scientific study. Scientists from both countries have come close to Nisar Mission. Another NASA scientific Sanghamitra B Dutta said that cooperation between the two space agencies is continuously increasing. Recently, an astronaut of India has come through the international space station. At the same time, India is also considering sending its human mission.
Why is Nisar mission special
ISRO has earlier sent such missions (Resourcesat, Recyat) for Earth’s study, but they are mainly concentrated on Indian territory. ISRO said that the goal of the NISAR mission is to study the entire earth and this will benefit the scientific community of the whole world. The NISAR satellite will help in studying climate change on the glaciers located in the Himalayas and Antarctica, northern and southern poles, deforestation conditions, changes in mountains, etc. Also the NISAR mission aims to study land and snow in areas with shared interest of the US and Indian scientific communities, studying land ecosystems and marine areas. It will also help in predicting disasters.
