The NISAR mission is a first -of-a-kind dual-band radar satellite that will measure land deformation from earthquakes, landslides, and volcanoes.

It will track how far glaciers and ice sheets are advancing or retreating, and it will monitor growth and loss of forests and wetlands to provide insights on the global carbon cycle.
