"In a few days, a new satellite that can detect changes on Earth’s surface down
to the centimetre, in almost real time and no matter the time of day or weather
conditions, is set to launch from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre near
Chennai.
Weighing almost 3 tonnes and boasting a 12-metre radar antenna, the US$1.5
billion NISAR satellite will track the ground under our feet and the water that
flows over and through it in unprecedented detail, providing valuable
information for farmers, climate scientists and natural disaster response
teams."
