NASA hands over NISAR to ISRO.
Quote Tweet
Today was all about NISAR! It’s nearly time for the scientific heart of this @NASAEarth satellite to head to southern India ahead of its planned 2024 launch, so of course, we had to send it off in true JPL style. go.nasa.gov/3Y8OQLd

An image of NISAR in the clean room at JPL. Officials from NASA, the Indian Space Research Organisation, and the Indian Embassy stand in a group next to the NISAR science instrument payload. They are dressed in full-body white protective suits as they are given a tour of the facility.
PL Director Laurie Leshin stands behind a lectern to give remarks to a crowd of media. She is joined by officials from NASA, the Indian Space Research Organisation, and the Indian Embassy. Behind them hang an American and Indian flag, and a 1/6 scale model of NISAR can also been seen.
Dr. Laurie Leshin hands a jar of peanuts over to the Indian Space Reseach Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S. Somanath. Lucky peanuts are a good luck tradition at JPL.

In case anybody is interested, the history of gardens in ancient & the first millennia is more complex -- ranging from active gardening technique to theological implications to visions of heaven to diversity of automatons to textual records -- and worthy of a monograph.

Let us not forget...Mughals were first to create Organised Gardens in India...They created many Bagh with fountains in India. Before Mughals, Indians have no idea of Bhagh...That's why British named Mughal Garden in President house...

The old 18th century gardens of #Pune ...today they exist only as names of the localities. Would be interesting if someone creates a map of old Pune, with these gardens (area) mapped. Old maps/records are avaiable.
