NASA-ISRO Earth Science Instrument Payload Gets Send-Off Before It Heads to India
NASA ID: JPL-20230203-NISARf-0001-NISAR Send Off Video File
Video file for media and public use. It’s nearly time for the scientific heart of NISAR – an Earth science satellite being jointly built by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) – to ship out from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to the next stop on its journey toward launch: southern India. Before its departure, members of the media got a chance to see the radar instruments that will collect data up close in a clean room and observe a send-off ceremony involving the breaking of coconuts and sharing of peanuts, traditions at ISRO and JPL, respectively.
