NISAR News & Updates
NASA’s C-20A aircraft completed a series of flights on April 29 over Central California to contribute new data to improve the accuracy of the region’s earthquake models and support NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), the U.S.-India satellite mission launched last…
On or about May 5, 2026 A.3 NASA ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar Mission Data, Applications, Research, and Technology Team (NISAR DART) was corrected regarding the requirements for application projects. Section 8.3.1 Step-2 Proposal Requirements has been corrected to specify that…
Description A scientist produced this map of land subsidence (sinking) in Mexico City using data from the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission captured between Oct. 25, 2025, and Jan. 17, 2026. The region has been a well-known hot spot…
One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar)…
Description This image captured by U.S.-Indian Earth satellite NISAR on Nov. 10, 2025, shows Washington’s Mount Rainier. The image is cropped from a much larger swath spanning the Pacific Northwest on a cloudy day; NISAR’s L-band SAR instrument is able…
Description This image captured by U.S.-Indian Earth satellite NISAR on Nov. 10, 2025, shows Washington’s Mount St. Helens. The image is cropped from a much larger swath spanning the Pacific Northwest on a cloudy day; NISAR’s L-band SAR instrument is…
Seattle and Portland, Oregon, are among the cloudiest cities in the United States. But that infamous cloud cover is no match for the U.S.-Indian Earth satellite NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), which is designed to peer straight through clouds. Doing…
Satellite-based radar images show where a powerful earthquake in the Yukon, Canada, sent rock, snow, and ice spilling across the frozen landscapes of the St. Elias Mountains.
NISAR Mission Data, Applications, Research, and Technology Team (A.3 NISAR DART) solicits proposals to join NISAR’s DART team. Introduced in FY26, the DART structure replaces traditional Science and Applications Teams (SATs) across all NASA Earth Science missions in prime operations,…
Description The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) Earth-observing satellite’s L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instrument captured this image of the Mississippi River Delta region in southeastern Louisiana on Nov. 29, 2025. The colors in the image represent varying types of…
