NISAR, the first Earth observation satellite developed by ISRO and NASA is scheduled to liftoff at 5:40 PM from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

NASA and India have paired up to launch an Earth-mapping satellite capable of tracking the slightest changes in land and ice.

This video shows the launch of NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) NISAR satellite. It launched from the southeast Indian coast on Wednesday 30 July 2025. After the successful launch the payload will orbit Earth for at least three years using its sophisticated radar systems to scan nearly all the planet's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days.
