The NISAR mission, an Earth-observing radar satellite jointly developed by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is ready for launch on July 30th.

It uses advanced radar technology that can see through clouds and darkness, providing a continuous view of Earth's surface. It is incredibly precise, capable of detecting tiny changes in the ground, down to just a few millimeters! This allows to monitor everything from melting glaciers and shifting land to changes in forests, helping us better understand and manage our planet.
