NISAR Satellite Data Guide: Capabilities, Free Download Sources, and Processing Tools

In this Geo-Insight video, we explore the powerful data capabilities of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission, known as **NISAR**, pronounced **nai-Saar**.

NISAR is one of the most important radar Earth observation missions, designed to monitor Earth’s changing surface using advanced SAR technology. Its data can support ground deformation monitoring, glacier and ice-sheet tracking, forest and vegetation monitoring, agriculture mapping, flood and wetland detection, and disaster response after earthquakes, floods, landslides, and volcanic activity.

In this video, you will learn:

What NISAR data can be used for
How NISAR supports Earth observation and disaster monitoring
Where to download NISAR data for free
How to access data through ASF DAAC, NASA Earthdata Search, ASF Vertex, and ISRO’s Bhoonidhi portal

ASF DAAC: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/centers/asf-daac
ASF Vertex: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/tools/vertex
Bhoonidhi Portal: https://bhoonidhi.nrsc.gov.in/bhoonidhi/login.html

Which tools can be used to process NISAR data, including QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, ESA SNAP Toolbox, ISCE3, ARIA-tools, MintPy, GMTSAR, ASF HyP3, GDAL, and Python

Beginners can start with geocoded products and open them in QGIS or SNAP. Advanced users can explore SAR interferometry, time-series deformation analysis, and disaster mapping using ISCE3, MintPy, ARIA-tools, and Python.

This video is useful for students, researchers, GIS analysts, remote sensing professionals, disaster managers, and anyone interested in open satellite data.

Stay tuned for our upcoming SAR training series, where we will explain radar data step by step for real-world Earth observation applications.
