NISAR Mission Prelaunch Media Reel

B-roll for media and public use. NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) have teamed up to create a powerful new space mission that will track our changing Earth in fine detail. The joint collaboration is known as NISAR – the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission. This reel includes clips showing assembly, integration, and testing of spacecraft components, primarily at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. It also features footage of the ISRO launch site at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast. Interview clips from mission team members are also included.

What is said in the film

but there's people here have been working on this nice our mission for a long time and, and have a great appreciation for the rich history and past that has gone into making NISAR our mission possible. as you can see here. Spacecraft and spacecraft In order to warm up the spacecraft sort of uniformly, so that that are used primarily for the biomass and ecosystems. and our science teams, I would say, are working extremely well together over the last 5 or 6 years, coming up with a joint observation plan. And, on the, carbon cycle monitoring biomass side, this is the NISAR is NASA, ISRO synthetic aperture radar.

It is first of its kind observatory with two radars, one from Space Applications Center, ISRO and the other from JPL NASA. NISAR is NASA, ISRO synthetic aperture radar. But for me, I think it's a beautifully handcrafted, work that is being jointly developed by two different agencies. Across the globe, on right opposite sides of the world. It will be able to map the entire globe in 12 days.

And it is going to repeat repeat its path every 12 days and give systematic coverage of the entire globe. This collaborative, programs are definitely, a testimony on how the world can work together and work towards the betterment of the world. It’s based on radar so it has two different frequency radars, and it basically looks through clouds and sees the surface of the Earth. The data from NISAR is open source, it will be free to everyone. So we can see motion of volcanoes, we can see motion of, earthquake faults before the earthquakes actually occur.

We can see subsidence due to, groundwater extraction or oil extraction. So because of these very subtle motions we can measure, we're able to understand what's happening below the surface of the Earth, at great precision, and that allows us then to understand, the risks associated with natural hazards. It helps us, manage resources of what's happening below the Earth. The changes in the ice sheets, the changes in global forest cover hazards around the world, due to, earthquakes, volcanoes, even flood related hazards. These things are global problems that the global community needs to come together to resolve.

It’s inspiring to see the way people work together, both at NASA and at ISRO. Both sides of the Pacific, basically on opposite sides of the world, working day and night for this mission to come together. See Let us at home. even. Get.

Place. And yeah, it's like a. Is that the second launch pad there? That's very nice. That.

Oh, my. Okay. Be. Oh, yeah. Oh, I just don't know.

How did you do that? What is that? How do you run? What? That.

No. I, broke down. I didn't even. Get. This team made it possible for us to stream back to you.

Okay. Very nice. Happy to see you all. Yeah. This is.

She saying? Great to see everything. Okay. We were testing the back and forth. Like, if she asks me a question, what's the response?

Nice. Yeah, it's not in perfect in my notes. Here we go. We're happy. Yeah.

Very happy. Okay. All right. Yeah. And we would make it so.

Yeah. These are rolling for someone to see. We could make it on any of these windows. Can you confirm for them which which feet is faster, the hard line or this. The.

What? You eat. Move. Let us. Person.

This. Was. Than that. Wow. That's.

Cool bird. Also, it's kind of chilling. I got you got it. Oh. With the radar in the shot.

Nice. Thank you. Birds. Wow. It's cool.

Yeah, I mean shit. This is India, dude. My video. Yeah, I think we're a. Well, I know.

Come on. I got it all. Can he get through us? Maybe not. What you have.

Oh, that looked like he's going to take my knee off. That. Some grouping of animals. We see the flamingos were stopping after. I didn't want to say anything because I thought it was a bunch of plastic.

And then I realized was, oh, that's a that's air conditioning, an electric. That was lost there at the. There's a lot of stuff. Yeah, that's pretty badass. I.

That was to show you that. So I just want this stuff over here. What's that?
