Question

NISAR can be expanded as:

• A. \(\text{NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar} \)
• B. \(\text{NASA-Indian Synthetic Aperture Radar} \)
• C. \(\text{NASA Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar} \)
• D. \(\text{NASA Indian Space Atmospheric Radar} \)

Hint:

NISAR is a collaborative NASA-ISRO mission set to launch in 2024, designed for Earth observation using dual-frequency L-band and S-band SAR.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding NISAR. NISAR is a joint NASA-ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) Earth observation mission that will use dual-frequency SAR (L-band and S-band) for remote sensing applications.
Step 2: Purpose and expansion of NISAR. - NISAR stands for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar. - It is designed for global environmental monitoring, disaster response, and resource management. - It will be the first dual-frequency radar imaging satellite.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since NISAR stands for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, the correct answer is a. NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar.
