👀 First look! The NASA-ISRO NISAR satellite sent back its first images, distinguishing between different types of land cover in areas like croplands, forests and wetlands.

These are a glimpse of what it will be able to produce when the science phase begins later this year.

NISAR is the most powerful Earth radar satellite ever launched. By tracking how Earth’s land and ice surfaces are changing, it will help communities prepare for natural disasters, keep an eye on aging infrastructure, and manage crops better. go.nasa.gov/4pM3dUa
