To solve the question regarding the collaboration between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and another international space agency for the manufacturing of the NISAR satellite, we need to examine the background of the NISAR mission.

NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a joint Earth-observing mission between two major entities in space exploration:

  1. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA): The U.S. government agency responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.
  2. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO): The space agency of the Government of India, responsible for the country's space exploration and technology.

The NISAR satellite is designed to observe and take detailed measurements of the Earth using advanced radar imaging. It aims to measure several planet-changing processes, such as ecosystem disturbances, ice-sheet dynamics, and natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and landslides.

Considering the options provided:

  • Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
  • European Space Agency
  • Russian Federal Space Agency
  • National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Correct Answer)

Based on the information about the NISAR mission, the correct answer is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is the partner organization of ISRO in this satellite program.
