- ISRO has launched the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite (NISAR)-the most expensive civilian Earth observation satellite ever built.
- NISAR is a technological marvel designed to monitor the earthquakes, glacial movements, carbon sequestration, and climate change-induced disasters such as glacial lake outbursts.
- GSLV-F16 is the 18th flight of India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) and the 12th flight with the Indigenous Cryogenic stage.
- This is the first mission with GSLV being used to place a satellite in the sun-synchronous polar orbit.
- The mission is expected to serve not only India and the US, but also aid global decision-making and emergency response efforts.
