US and India form enabling partnership through the NISAR Mission
NASA scientists have characterized the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, set for launch this year, as an "exceptional collaboration" between the United States and India. Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) presented lectures on the NISAR mission at the Global Science Festival Kerala (GSFK) held at the Bio 360 Life Sciences Park in Thonnakkal. These talks were part of a series organized by the US Consulate General Chennai, which has collaborated with the Kerala Government to organize a U.S. pavilion at GSFK.
NISAR is perfect for making reliable measurements for a broad range of applications, from forest management to flood mapping and monitoring, NASA/JPL Project Scientist Paul A. Rosen said. “This is a truly enabling partnership between the United States and India, and it is an honour to be a part of it", he said. He noted that NISAR is the largest space collaboration between NASA and ISRO so far.
Within the U.S. Pavilion, attendees have the opportunity to engage with displays and access in-demand educational materials. The pavilion features exhibits focusing on the environment, space sciences, and extraterrestrial intelligence, in collaboration with esteemed partners such as NASA and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Labs, according to a statement.
The U.S. Pavilion is an example of our U.S.-India space diplomacy ties, US Consulate General Chennai spokesperson Samantha Jackson said. “We understand science, technology, and innovation are key tools to address global challenges such as climate change, health, education, food, water, and energy security. We support cutting-edge research and are building public-private partnerships that promote science and technology-based innovation and entrepreneurship", she said.
