The NISAR satellite captured detailed radar images of Louisiana’s Delta in January 2026, showing cities, rivers, and wetlands despite cloud cover.
The NASA-ISRO NISAR satellite, launched in July 2025, has captured a high-resolution radar image of Louisiana’s Mississippi River Delta, penetrating cloud cover to reveal New Orleans, Baton Rouge, the Mississippi River, Lake Pontchartrain, and surrounding landscapes.
Using dual radar systems—L-band and S-band—the mission provides detailed, all-weather observations of land changes, including wetland loss and subsidence, crucial for disaster response and environmental monitoring.
The image, released in January 2026, shows features like the 39-kilometer Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and variations in vegetation health, with data to be publicly available via the Alaska Satellite Facility in late February.
