Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the statements given below regarding NISAR mission is/are correct?
1. NISAR is a satellite wholly developed by ISRO that will detect movements of the earth’s surface.
2. It will help track changes in croplands, hazard sites and to monitor crises such as volcanic eruptions.
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
Statement 1 is incorrect while statement 2 is correct.
NASA and ISRO are collaborating on developing a satellite called NISAR, which will detect movements of the planet’s surface as small as 0.4 inches.
The name NISAR is short for NASA-ISRO-SAR. SAR here refers to the synthetic aperture radar that NASA will use to measure changes in the surface of the Earth. Essentially, SAR refers to a technique for producing high-resolution images. Because of the precision, the radar can penetrate clouds and darkness, which means that it can collect data day and night in any weather.
During the course of three years, the images will allow scientists to track changes in croplands, hazard sites and will help them to monitor crises such as volcanic eruptions. The images will be detailed enough to show local changes and broad enough to measure regional trends.Incorrect
