Public sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with pride in the collaboration between NASA and ISRO for the NISAR satellite. Enthusiasm about the technological advancements and potential benefits for Earth observation is prevalent, particularly among Indian commenters expressing national pride.

NASA

ISRO

* NASA's budget contribution for this mission is around $1.2 billion (USD).
* Reflector antenna is of heritage design from other Geostatoinary satellites.
* Deployment timeline of boom and reflector.
   * After launch on July 30, on day 10 deployment process will begin, it'll take 8 days for full deployment.

* NISAR commissioning period is 90 days. After 65 days of engineering related activities first full frame science grade images will become available but still not fully calibrated. After day 70 science phase will be ramping up and will officially begin by day 90.

* All data from NISAR will be available to public. NASA's L-band data will be at Alaska Satellite Facility. ISRO's S-Band data will be available from NRSC's Bhoonidhi portal.


Question by Jeff Foust:

&gt; How has NASA ensured that recent anomalies on ISRO missions, like the NVS-02 spacecraft and PSLV-C61 launch, do not pose a risk to the NISAR launch?

Answer: We like ISRO to answer any questions about their Launch Vehicles but we've been receiving lot of data from them and can't wait to see NISAR take to the skies on July 30.

We’re up ahead! 💪🏻 Does anyone know how reliable the rockets are that are used to launch block 2? Am somewhat worried that, once it’s our turn, the rocket is gonna blow…

Is this a asts sat? Seems like somthing else

For clarity BB2 are not being launched here?

Been holding since 6/2021, but newbie question. Do most rapid launch facilities have a single or multiple integration facilities? Im surprised that ISRO doesn't since they are trying to achieve that status.

I hate to ask this, and I don’t want to ask, but I must contemplate the worst case scenario. What happens to our money and launch schedule should there be a malfunction while launching either the NISAR rocket and/or our bird? Will our launch be changed moved or delayed if NISAR has a malfunction? And for us, who would we use next? Do we have insurance on the bird? Do we have others lined up and ready to go?

That's a very short turnaround if it hasn't shipped yet, you sure the payload is FM1?

So we might finally get a launch date on July 21.

This author has been credible in previous reports about these dates. Also while GSLV NOTAM (A1967/25) is still active two NOTAMs referring to it are cancelled so may be soon we will see new one being issued.

They must be really really double checking the launch vehicle

Can’t find this info on their twitter handle or website. Though Deccanhearld has covered it

Any idea how to launch gallery tickets for this?

The joint NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite is set to launch, aiming to advance Earth observation capabilities.
