NASA will host a news conference at 12 p.m. EDT Monday, July 21, to discuss the upcoming NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission.<\/p>\n

The Earth-observing satellite, a first-of-its-kind collaboration between NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), carries an advanced radar system that will help protect communities by providing a dynamic, three-dimensional view of Earth in unprecedented detail and detecting the movement of land and ice surfaces down to the centimeter.<\/p>\n

The NISAR mission will lift off from ISRO\u2019s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, on India\u2019s southeastern coast. Launch is targeted for no earlier than late July.<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California will stream the briefing live on its X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and YouTube<\/a> channels. Learn how to watch NASA content<\/a> through a variety of platforms, including social media.<\/p>\n
