The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday received the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite from the US space agency. “Touchdown in Bengaluru! @ISRO receives NISAR (@NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) on a @USAirforce C-17 from @NASAJPL in California, setting the stage for final integration of the Earth observation satellite, a true symbol of #USIndia civil space collaboration,” US Consulate General Chennai said in a tweet.

NISAR is a Low Earth Orbit observatory jointly developed by NASA and ISRO.
