U.S., India to Collaborate on Mars Exploration, Earth-Observing Mission

In a meeting Tuesday in Toronto, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and K. Radhakrishnan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), signed two documents to launch a NASA-ISRO satellite mission to observe Earth and establish a pathway for future joint missions to explore Mars.

While attending the International Astronautical Congress, the two space agency leaders met to discuss and sign a charter that establishes a NASA-ISRO Mars Working Group to investigate enhanced cooperation between the two countries in Mars exploration. They also signed an international agreement that defines how the two agencies will work together on the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, targeted to launch in 2020.
"The signing of these two documents reflects the strong commitment NASA and ISRO have to advancing science and improving life on Earth," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "This partnership will yield tangible benefits to both our countries and the world."
The joint Mars Working Group will seek to identify and implement scientific, programmatic and technological goals that NASA and ISRO have in common regarding Mars exploration. The group will meet once a year to plan cooperative activities, including potential NASA-ISRO cooperation on future missions to Mars.
Both agencies have newly arrived spacecraft in Mars orbit. NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft arrived at Mars Sept. 21. MAVEN is the first spacecraft dedicated to exploring the tenuous upper atmosphere of Mars. ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), India's first spacecraft launched to Mars, arrived Sept. 23 to study the Martian surface and atmosphere and demonstrate technologies needed for interplanetary missions.
One of the working group's objectives will be to explore potential coordinated observations and science analysis between MAVEN and MOM, as well as other current and future Mars missions.
"NASA and Indian scientists have a long history of collaboration in space science," said John Grunsfeld, NASA associate administrator for science. "These new agreements between NASA and ISRO in Earth science and Mars exploration will significantly strengthen our ties and the science that we will be able to produce as a result."

The joint NISAR Earth-observing mission will make global measurements of the causes and consequences of land surface changes. Potential areas of research include ecosystem disturbances, ice sheet collapse and natural hazards. The NISAR mission is optimized to measure subtle changes of the Earth's surface associated with motions of the crust and ice surfaces. NISAR will improve our understanding of key impacts of climate change and advance our knowledge of natural hazards.
NISAR will be the first satellite mission to use two different radar frequencies (L-band and S-band) to measure changes in our planet's surface less than a centimeter across. This allows the mission to observe a wide range of changes, from the flow rates of glaciers and ice sheets to the dynamics of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Under the terms of the new agreement, NASA will provide the mission's L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR), a high-rate communication subsystem for science data, GPS receivers, a solid state recorder, and a payload data subsystem. ISRO will provide the spacecraft bus, an S-band SAR, and the launch vehicle and associated launch services.
NASA had been studying concepts for a SAR mission in response to the National Academy of Science's decadal survey of the agency's Earth science program in 2007. The agency developed a partnership with ISRO that led to this joint mission. The partnership with India has been key to enabling many of the mission's science objectives.
NASA's contribution to NISAR is being managed and implemented by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.
NASA and ISRO have been cooperating under the terms of a framework agreement signed in 2008. This cooperation includes a variety of activities in space sciences such as two NASA payloads -- the Mini-Synthetic Aperture Radar (Mini-SAR) and the Moon Mineralogy Mapper -- on ISRO's Chandrayaan-1 mission to the moon in 2008. During the operational phase of this mission, the Mini-SAR instrument detected ice deposits near the moon's northern pole.

NISAR
A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite, 'NISAR', is a joint project between NASA and ISRO. The mission is to launch a dual-frequency SAR on an Earth observation satellite—the first of its kind. The estimated cost for this project is nearly $1.5 billion and the satellite is expected to launch by January 2024.
This satellite will be used for remote sensing to understand the natural processes of the Earth like the Arctic and Antarctic cryosphere. It will be launched from India on a GSLV Mark II and the planned mission life is three years, orbiting synchronously with the Sun.

NISAR: Tracking Earth's Changes From Space (Mission Overview)
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/354279.jpg) (https://www.youtube.com/@NASAJPL)  NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (https://www.youtube.com/@NASAJPL)
NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) have teamed up to create a powerful new space mission that will track our changing Earth in fine detail. The satellite, called NISAR, will use an advanced radar system to deepen our understanding of deforestation, shrinking glaciers and sea ice loss, natural hazards, climate change, and other global vital signs.
Short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, NISAR features two radar instruments: one from ISRO, and one built at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Peering through cloud cover and vegetation, the satellite will bounce radar signals off nearly all the planet's land and ice twice every 12 days, monitoring motions of the surface down to fractions of an inch along with changes in other characteristics.
NISAR is undergoing final integration and testing at ISRO's satellite facility in Bengaluru, India, and will launch from ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. Launch is expected in early 2024; the specific date will be announced by ISRO.

NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation have set the launch readiness date for the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission for no earlier than Wednesday, July 30. 
The Earth-observing satellite, which will be the first to carry L- and S-band radars, is set to lift off aboard an ISRO Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle from ISRO's Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on India's southeastern coast. Earlier this year, President Trump and Prime Minister Modi hailed NISAR is a critical part of a pioneering year for U.S. – India civil space cooperation.    
NISAR will scan nearly all of Earth's land and ice surfaces twice every 12 days. The mission will measure changes in the planet's terrestrial ecosystems, growth and retreat of its ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice, and tectonic deformation of its crust. The data will be accessible to all users across a range of disciplines, with potential applicability in disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and agricultural decision support.

Спойлер

Join NASA and ISRO (the Indian Space Research Organisation) for the launch of our most advanced Earth-observing radar satellite, which will provide 3D views of land and ice surfaces in unprecedented detail.

The spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 8:10 a.m. EDT (1210 UTC) on Wednesday, July 30, aboard an ISRO Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle Mark II rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India's southeastern coast.

From orbit, the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite will enable scientists to measure small shifts in Earth's glaciers, volcanoes, forests, and other land and ice surfaces – all down to a fraction of an inch. This data will help communities prepare for natural hazards like landslides and earthquakes, plus respond to them more effectively. With NISAR's global view, researchers will better understand what's changing, where, and why.

NISAR's radar will measure surfaces by transmitting a specific microwave signal to Earth and then detecting characteristics of the return signal. The instrument can "see" through clouds and light rain, both day and night, and will scan a given spot twice every 12 days.

спутник NISAR над Землёй

Этот спутник откроет новую эру в глобальном мониторинге Земли: в течение ближайших трёх лет он будет сканировать поверхность планеты каждые 12 дней, предоставляя беспрецедентные данные о природных процессах и изменениях окружающей среды.
Цель миссии NISAR — детальное отслеживание природных катастроф, таких как землетрясения, извержения вулканов, оползни и наводнения. Кроме того, спутник будет следить за состоянием ледников, таянием полярных шапок, а также динамикой изменения климата. Эти данные станут важным инструментом в изучении и прогнозировании экологических угроз.
Один из главных технических прорывов миссии — установка двухдиапазонного радара, работающего в L- и S-диапазонах (25 см и 10 см соответственно). Такая комбинация позволяет анализировать различные характеристики поверхности Земли: от влажности и шероховатости до малейших изменений рельефа. Эти радары способны улавливать движения, происходящие под землёй, в ледниках или даже в городской инфраструктуре, что делает NISAR мощным инструментом для мониторинга не только природных, но и техногенных объектов.
Практическое значение спутника трудно переоценить. Он станет ценным источником информации для служб экстренного реагирования, особенно в период стихийных бедствий. Быстрое получение точных данных поможет оперативно реагировать на угрозы, спасать жизни и оценивать ущерб. Кроме того, учёные получат огромный массив информации о процессах, влияющих на углеродный цикл планеты — от таяния ледников до изменений в растительности.
Запуск NISAR — это яркий пример успешного международного сотрудничества. Учёные, инженеры и специалисты из NASA и ISRO объединили усилия, чтобы создать спутник, способный вести наблюдение за всей планетой с невероятной точностью. Это не просто технологический проект — это совместный вклад в понимание и защиту Земли.
Орбита спутника — солнечно-синхронная, что позволяет получать снимки одной и той же области при одинаковом освещении. Это критически важно для точного сравнения изменений поверхности во времени. Кроме того, NISAR обеспечит невиданное ранее покрытие Антарктиды, помогая отслеживать скорость таяния ледникового щита — важнейшего индикатора климатических изменений.
Таким образом, NISAR станет глазами человечества в космосе, позволяя следить за хрупким балансом нашей планеты. С его помощью мы сможем не только понимать природу лучше, но и быть готовыми к её резким переменам.

А там не LVM3, а GSLV MkII Flight 16 везде написан и нарисован. И в брошюре, и на NextSpaceFlight (https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/4085), и на NASASpaceflight (https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/07/nisar-launch/).

Спасибо!
Исправлено.

Я правильно понимаю, что это первый пуск  GSLV Mk1/ Mk 2 на солнечно-синхронную?

ЦитироватьFollowing the deployment of its 39-foot (12-meter) radar antenna reflector on Aug. 15, engineers powered on the satellite's L-band and S-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, which, together, will track movement of Earth's ice and land surfaces in unprecedented detail.

In addition, the spacecraft, including the radar payload, has passed all of the preliminary checks performed by NASA and ISRO mission teams to ensure they are operating normally. The mission began raising the satellite to its operational orbit, 464 miles (747 kilometers, mean altitude), on Aug. 26.

The mission team anticipates having science-quality radar images in the coming weeks. Full science operations have been scheduled to begin about 90 days after launch.

15 августа было завершено разворачивание 12-метровой антенны и включены соответствующие системы. 26 августа начат подъём на рабочую орбиту (в среднем 747 км). Управляющая команда рассчитывает получить первые рабочие изображения в ближайшие недели. Полноценная работа аппарата должна начаться примерно через 90 суток после запуска

Цитата: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-isro-satellite-sends-first-radar-images-of-earths-surface/Спутник NASA и ISRO передал первые радиолокационные изображения поверхности Земли

NASA и Индийская организация космических исследований (ISRO) опубликовали первые радиолокационные изображения, полученные со спутника NASA-ISRO с синтезированной апертурой (NISAR) 21 и 23 августа 2025 года. Эти изображения знаменуют собой важную веху в подготовке спутника к полноценной научной эксплуатации в этом году.

Спутник NISAR, запущенный ISRO 30 июля 2025 года, в настоящее время находится на орбите высотой 747 км (464 мили). Он работает в двух радиолокационных диапазонах: L-диапазон NASA (длина волны 24 см) для проникновения в лесной покров, измерения влажности почвы и обнаружения перемещения почвы с разрешением до 5 м) и S-диапазон ISRO (длина волны 9 см для мониторинга мелкой растительности). Спутник будет наблюдать за сушей и ледяными поверхностями Земли с кратностью два пролёта каждые 12 дней, собирая данные с помощью барабанной антенны-рефлектора диаметром 12 метров — это самый большой рефлектор, который NASA когда-либо отправляла в космос.

На первых снимках запечатлен остров Маунт-Дезерт в штате Мэн (на фото видны прибрежные леса и водно-болотные угодья) и северо-восточная часть Северной Дакоты (сельскохозяйственные поля и почвенный покров). Они демонстрируют точность NISAR и возможности в распознавании экосистем, что поможет отслеживать урожаи, реагировать на стихийные бедствия, контролировать инфраструктуру и изучать такие явления, как землетрясения и оползни.

Полноценные научные исследования планируется начать в ноябре 2025 года, что обещает получение беспрецедентных данных об изменениях ландшафтов Земли.
