A powerful new radar satellite built through a partnership between the United States and India successfully launched on Wednesday, marking a major step in monitoring our planet’s changing environment.

The satellite, known as NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), is roughly the size of a pickup truck. It lifted off at 5:40 pm local time (12:10 GMT) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast, carried by an ISRO Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle.

NISAR is designed to spot even the smallest changes in Earth’s land and ice surfaces. Scientists say it will help track environmental shifts and predict hazards such as floods, landslides, and damage caused by human activity.

The joint project reflects a growing collaboration between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), combining advanced radar technology with shared data to better protect people and the planet.
