A joint Earth-observing satellite from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and NASA is ready for launch.
A Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II (GSLV Mk II) rocket rolled out to the launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, last week, beginning final preparations ahead of the targeted July 30 launch of NISAR, an advanced Earth-observation satellite developed by ISRO and NASA.
