00:00:03.236 --> 00:00:06.306
NISAR is a collaboration between NASA

2
00:00:06.406 --> 00:00:09.275
and the Indian Space Research
Organisation.

3
00:00:15.615 --> 00:00:18.885
NISAR is a radar satellite mission

4
00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:21.888
to measure earthquakes and volcanoes, ice

5
00:00:21.888 --> 00:00:26.026
sheets and sea ice, forests, ecosystems
and any other thing

6
00:00:26.026 --> 00:00:28.962
that's
changing at the scale of a centimeter

7
00:00:28.962 --> 00:00:29.796
on the earth.

8
00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:38.972
We are working together
and it's a great mission.

9
00:00:38.972 --> 00:00:40.073
It is going to be with

10
00:00:40.073 --> 00:00:43.543
the two different kinds of radar images
that it is going to take

11
00:00:43.977 --> 00:00:46.646
and give a lot of science data
for all the science

12
00:00:46.646 --> 00:00:49.682
community who are going to look at Earth
in a different perspective.

13
00:00:49.983 --> 00:00:54.421
So we can effectively make three
dimensional movies of the deformation

14
00:00:54.421 --> 00:00:57.690
or the movement of the earth
down to millimeter

15
00:00:57.690 --> 00:00:59.426
or centimeter scales.

16
00:01:05.665 --> 00:01:08.201
NISAR is being built as two parts.

17
00:01:08.201 --> 00:01:13.907
The payload is being built at JPL,
and the second part will be a spacecraft,

18
00:01:13.907 --> 00:01:16.443
which is getting right now
realized that ISRO.

19
00:01:22.649 --> 00:01:23.483
NISAR is going

20
00:01:23.483 --> 00:01:26.853
to get launched
from our launch pad at Sriharikota.

21
00:01:26.853 --> 00:01:31.257
The entire world is excited
to see what comes out of NISAR.

22
00:01:33.059 --> 00:01:34.527
NASA's Earth System Observatory

23
00:01:34.527 --> 00:01:38.398
consists of a series of earth
focused missions that will work together

24
00:01:38.598 --> 00:01:42.602
and complement each other to produce
a holistic 3D view of the earth.

25
00:01:42.702 --> 00:01:45.705
NISAR is going to be the trailblazer
for this observatory.

26
00:01:45.872 --> 00:01:50.043
We're going to learn more about processes
related to climate change and assist

27
00:01:50.043 --> 00:01:50.910
decision makers

28
00:01:50.910 --> 00:01:54.581
and planners to mitigate natural hazards
and manage natural resources.

29
00:01:55.115 --> 00:01:59.219
These data will make a major difference
in understanding the earth

30
00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:02.622
and helping future generations
live sustainable

31
00:02:02.622 --> 00:02:03.389
lives.

32
00:02:09.262 --> 00:02:12.198
NISAR is a mix of the two cultures,

33
00:02:12.198 --> 00:02:15.201
and it's nice to see that
we are almost the same.

34
00:02:15.201 --> 00:02:18.204
I'm sure the outcome is going to be
something beautiful.

35
00:02:18.371 --> 00:02:22.442
We have taken the best of both the worlds
and try to put into NISAR

36
00:02:22.542 --> 00:02:25.979
because we see something
very beautiful getting realized every day.
