With reference to NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), consider the following statements
Select the correct statement.
1&2 only
2&3 only
1&3 only
All of the above
Only statements 1&3 are correct. NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar)
NISAR has been built by space agencies of the US and India under a partnership agreement signed in 2014.
It is expected to be launched in January 2024 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre into a near-polar orbit.
The satellite will operate for a minimum of three years.
It is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observatory.
NISAR will map the entire globe in 12 days.
Features
It is a 2,800 kilograms satellite consisting of both L-band and S-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instruments, which makes it a dual-frequency imaging radar satellite.
While NASA has provided the L-band radar, GPS, a high-capacity solid-state recorder to store data, and a payload data subsystem, ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) has provided the S-band radar, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) launch system and spacecraft.
S band radars ope rate on a wavelength of 8-15 cm and a frequency of 2-4 GHz. Because of the wavelength and frequency, they are not easily attenuated. This makes them useful for near and far range weather observation.
It has a 39-foot stationary antenna reflector, made of a gold-plated wire mesh; the reflector will be used to focus “the radar signals emitted and received by the upward-facing feed on the instrument structure.
By using SAR, NISAR will produce high-resolution images. SAR is capable of penetrating clouds and can collect data day and night regardless of the weather conditions.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
