After launching missions to the Moon and Sun, India's ISRO is now working in collaboration with the American space agency NASA. Together, both of them are busy in preparing a special kind of satellite. The name of this satellite will be – NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR). To a large extent its work has been completed. It can be launched early next year.
Know how special NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite will be, what is its budget and how much information will be obtained from it.
What is Nisar Satellite?
The weight of Nisar satellite will be 2600 kg. Its job is to predict global and global weather in the satellite ecosystem. It will provide information and prediction of natural disasters like earthquake, tsunami, volcano and landslides. Nisar satellite will analyze the earth, sea and ice and send this information to the agency. Will keep an eye on even the smallest movements happening here and will work to convey its information to the agency.
According to media reports, with its help scientists will also be able to find out what is happening beneath the surface. It will provide many types of information with the help of radar imaging technology.
How much is the budget?
A budget of 1.5 billion dollars has been prepared to prepare Nisar satellite. Which is much more than Chandrayaan-3. It is being said to be the most expensive satellite.
Scientists say that the satellite will need longer antennas to obtain maximum depth information. However, this is not possible, so a new solution has been found. Scientists will use the motion feature of the satellite. With its help a virtual antenna will be developed.
Along with NASA, Indian scientists will also have access to the data of NISAR satellite mission. With the help of data they will be able to analyze. With its help, scientists will provide many types of information.
Nisar satellite will look like this.
Nisar will give so much information
Mark Subba Rao, a scientist associated with NASA, says, Nisar satellite will capture every movement of the surface of land, water and ice and will send information about even the smallest changes to the agency.
Apart from this, Nisar will also tell about the climate and the increasing and decreasing level of snow. Through Nisar, information will be available about how much change has occurred in the ice floating on the sea. How much its surface melted. What is the status of the ice sheet? Will give information about small changes and big trends.
The radar will monitor the reserves of hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide gas. Will measure changes in groundwater in vulnerable areas of the Earth. In this way, this satellite will prove to be very useful for scientists.
