ISRO’s indigenously launched NISAR hailed as “one of world’s most precise” by chief Narayanan

ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan stated that the successful launch of the NISAR satellite was one of the most precise launches globally. He noted NASA’s excitement that India was able to successfully carry out the mission using the indigenously developed GSLV Mark vehicle. Narayanan made these remarks to reporters on Thursday night at the international airport, a day after ISRO successfully placed the NISAR (NASA–ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission into orbit onboard a GSLV-16 rocket from the spaceport.
