Scientists and engineers involved in the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission have completed key tests including the thermal vacuum testing ahead of its launch which is scheduled to take place in the first quarter of 2024.
Phil Barela, NASA NISAR project manager, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said that crucial thermal vacuum testing was completed in Bengaluru.
“I am very pleased to say that the thermal vacuum test which is a very important test we do at the system level to make sure that we have worked out all the bugs and the temperature etc has been completed which is a key milestone for the team,” Mr Barela said.
