NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory | Monitoring Earth’s Vital Signs with NISAR: Meet the Mission Engineers (Live Q&A) @NASAJPL | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 days ago
A new NASA Earth science mission is currently being built and tested at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NISAR – or the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar – is an Earth-orbiting satellite that will collect critical data on how the planet is responding to climate change. But before it can begin its science, JPL engineers must design and build the unique technology that will set it apart, including the largest reflector antenna ever launched by NASA.
In this live Q&A, we’ll talk with two NISAR mission team members and answer your questions about what it takes to monitor Earth’s vital signs.
Guests:
Wendy Edelstein, payload manager, NASA JPL
Richa Sirohi, systems engineer, NASA JPL
