Earth's surface is always moving – and NISAR will soon track even the tiniest shifts.

Set to launch soon, the satellite will use advanced radar tech to track changes in Earth’s surface, helping us better understand everything from ice loss to natural hazards. Learn more ⬇️

Recordando mi viaje a Panamá en octubre del 2023, junto con mi colega Peter Falcon, donde compartimos los aportes de la @NASA y actividades relacionadas con STEM con jóvenes brillantes. En ese encuentro me encantó conocer a la @USAmbassadorPAN y su gran entusiasmo por la NASA.

Great video about my participation in a field expedition to the Peruvian Amazon in support of NISAR wetland calibration/validation.

[NASA JPL @NASAJPL]

When wetlands flood, they produce methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas.

Learn why a team of scientists went to the Peruvian Amazon to study the tropical wetlands in preparation for the upcoming #NISAR mission, which will help us better understand our planet.

Flight 72. That’s the final flight for our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter.

Ingenuity and its team proved that powered, controlled flight on another world was possible. #ThanksIngenuity. You may rest, but your legacy will continue to soar: https://t.co/uEe2ZAw2ML

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
Take in this epic photo of our community of women at JPL. Each group represents a generation - starting with our longest-serving employee, who has been here for more than 60 years! As of 2021, more than 30% of our workforce identify as women.

En el #DíaInternacionalDeLaMujer, destacamos el trabajo de algunas de las hispanas que contribuyen a nuestra misión: ya sea observando la Tierra, aprendiendo sobre otros planetas, o ayudándonos a llevar a la primera mujer a la Luna.
Su labor nos permite hacer historia.

Una entrevista reciente sobre el próximo satélite de observación de la Tierra - llamado NISAR. Es una colaboración entre la NASA y la Agencia de Investigación del Espacio de la India (ISRO). Super emocionada de ser parte de esta misión satelital.

[NASA en español @NASA_es]

¿Qué es NISAR? 🤔 🛰️
La doctora Erika Podest, científica de @NASAJPL, nos habla sobre la próxima misión de observación de la Tierra que nos ayudará a comprender mejor nuestro planeta, midiendo los cambios en los ecosistemas, las superficies y las masas de hielo.

[Erika Podest @poderika]

@EricFielding @mouthofmorrison I agree!

[NASA @NASA]

Earth is the only planet we call home. It's ours. 🌏
