ARTA – The launch of the ISRO Shthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) spacecraft has been delayed due to the device's components needing to be repaired. NISAR is expected to take off in spring this year.
After repairing their main radar antennas, NASA and the Indian Space Research Agency (ISRO) are now preparing for its launch. The plan is that the two agencies will launch NISAR as early as March next year.
Renal, a program scientist for the NISAR mission, attended the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union some time ago, according to the spacenews report. Bawden explained that the ship would disembark from India.
“We are now ready with NISAR. The material has been completely examined,” Bawden said. The scientist also explained what improvements have been made by technicians over the past several months to overcome the antenna problem.
renal. While testing the vehicle in thermal vacuum parts, technicians found higher than expected temperatures in some parts. This problem was solved by “removing the reflector from NISAR and bringing it back to the United States.”
Although completed, NISAR will be temporarily stored for two reasons. First, NASA and NISAR expect the period of solar coverage to end on February 8. Second, the launch pad will be used for other missions.
in space India Satish Organizer will be used to launch a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), namely NVS-02. This vehicle is expected to leave in January and NISAR must wait a few weeks after the launch is completed.
“After launch, it will take six to eight weeks to renovate the launch pad,” Bawden explained. Therefore, the NISAR launch window only opened in March next year.
