NASA-ISRO NISAR Maps Mexico City’s Sinking Ground in Early Mission Test
New NISAR radar data shows parts of Mexico City sinking by more than half an inch per month, giving scientists an early demonstration of the satellite’s ability to measure ground deformation from space.
Key Takeaways
- New NISAR data shows parts of Mexico City subsiding by more than half an inch per month, largely due to groundwater pumping.
- NASA says the result helps confirm the mission is performing as expected in its first year after launch in 2025.
