Featured Coastal Landforms Observation Method: NISAR

Launching in 2025, the joint NASA/ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) platform will create global maps to provide a better understanding of changes in Earth’s ecosystems, ice mass, vegetation biomass, sea level rise, ground water, and natural hazards.

Getting Ready for NISAR - And for Managing Big Data Using the Commercial Cloud

The upcoming NISAR satellite mission is expected to add as much as 85 TB of data each day to the EOSDIS archive. The commercial cloud is being explored as a way to archive and disseminate this extremely high volume of data efficiently.
