In June 2025, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) joint venture NISAR is planned to be launched by __________.
NISAR Mission Launch Vehicle: GSLV Mk II
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is a collaborative Earth observation satellite project between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The NISAR satellite is planned to be launched using the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mk II.
Reasoning:
- The GSLV Mk II is ISRO's third-generation, medium-lift launch vehicle.
- It is capable of placing heavy payloads into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO), making it suitable for missions like NISAR, which requires a significant payload capacity.
- While specific mission details can evolve, the GSLV Mk II configuration is designed for such demanding launches.
Therefore, based on the available information and typical launch vehicle capabilities for missions of this scale, the GSLV Mk II is identified as the launch vehicle.
