00:00 Since the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, NASA ground stations have been
00:05 monitoring the spacecraft's health.
00:08 NASA's Deep Space Network provided telemetry and tracking coverage during the powered descent
00:14 phase from their deep space stations at Canberra and Madrid.
00:18 But this is neither the first time nor the last time that we have seen a collaboration
00:23 between ISRO and NASA.
00:26 In July, India decided to join the Artemis Accords, which is an agreement that brings
00:30 together like-minded nations in the field of civil space exploration.
00:34 Under this, NASA and ISRO have agreed to collaborate on a joint mission to the International Space
00:40 Station in 2024.
00:41 The Accords are part of an American-led initiative to return humans to the Moon by 2025 and eventually
00:48 expand space exploration to Mars and beyond.
00:51 According to NASA, these Accords are designed to shape and govern the exploration and utilization
00:57 of outer space in the modern era.
01:00 The ISRO-NASA collaborative venture will witness the convergence of expertise and resources
01:06 from both the nations in a remarkable journey towards the International Space Station.
01:11 NASA and ISRO are developing a strategic framework for human-spaceflight cooperation.
01:18 Besides this, there is NISAR, which is a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and ISRO.
01:24 It began in September of 2014, when NASA and ISRO signed a partnership to collaborate on
01:29 and launch NISAR.
01:32 The mission is targeted to launch in 2024.
01:35 NASA is providing the mission's radar, a high-rate communications subsystem for science
01:39 data, GPS receivers, a solid-state recorder and a payload data subsystem.
01:45 ISRO is providing the spacecraft bus, the S-band radar, the launch vehicle and associated
01:49 launch services.
01:50 NISAR aims to make global measurements of the causes and consequences of land-surface
01:57 changes using advanced radar imaging.
02:00 One of the top priorities of this survey is to gain data and insight into three areas
02:04 of Earth science, namely ecosystems, deformation of Earth's crust, and cryospheric sciences.
02:12 ISRO has identified science and applications that will be complementary to the primary
02:17 mission.
02:18 It will hail India with agricultural monitoring, studying landslides, Himalayan glacier studies,
02:23 soil moisture, coastal processes, coastal winds and monitoring climate disasters.
02:29 A second radar frequency has been added to the mission to better fulfil these requirements
02:33 specific to India.
02:34 NISAR will be the first satellite mission to use two different radar frequencies to
02:40 measure changes on Earth's surface less than a centimetre across.
