Explained | What are ISRO and NASA aiming to achieve with the NISAR satellite?

The Hindu  

The facts The Indian Space Research Organisation on March 7 received the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite from the U.S. space agency in Bengaluru. NASA and ISRO are jointly working on the all-weather, earth-observing mission scheduled for launch in 2024. The background NISAR is the first satellite mission that will collect radar data in two microwave bandwidth ranges: L-band and S-band. ‘ ‘SAR’ is a type of remote-sensing technology that uses radars instead of optical sensors to create high-resolution images of the earth’s surface.
