ISRO Sets June 2025 Launch for Joint NASA-ISRO NISAR Satellite After Delays

Published by Webster

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has started the final preparation for one of its most highly anticipated global collaborations after a prolonged wait. The joint mission with the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR, is scheduled to take off in June 2025. The ambitious Earth observation satellite will have one of the largest and most advanced radar imaging systems ever to have been launched into space. When in operation, NISAR will offer a new window of the Earth’s surface, with critical information about Earth’s changing systems, natural hazards, and environmental change.

GSLV-F15 is the 100th launch and it has successfully taken flight, carrying NVS-02 into its planned orbit, said ISRO.  A GSLV rocket carrying navigation satellite NVS-02 lifted off from this spaceport on Wednesday, marking ISRO’s 100th mission. The mission was also the first for the space agency’s Chairman V Narayanan, who assumed office recently. It is ISRO’s maiden venture this year. As the 27.30 hour countdown concluded, the 50.9 metre tall rocket, emanating thick fumes on its tail, lifted off majestically from the second launch pad at a prefixed time of 6.23 am today from Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F15) follows the GSLV-F12 mission which successfully carried navigation satellite NVS-01, the first of the second generation satellites on May 29, 2023. The key applications of the satellite would be terrestrial, aerial and maritime navigation, precision agriculture, fleet …
