C
ISRO and ROSCOSMOS
D
ISRO and NASA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Planned Launch Date: 2024 The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission will measure Earth’s changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses providing information about biomass, natural hazards, sea level rise, and groundwater, and will support a host of other applications.

Detailed explanation-2: -The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) will observe nearly the entire planet every 12 days, night and day, in all weather conditions. Likely to be launched into near-polar orbit in 2024, it will also help scientists gain a better understanding of the Earth’s crust.

Detailed explanation-3: -NISAR will map the entire globe in 12 days and provide spatially and temporally consistent data for understanding changes in Earth’s ecosystems, ice mass, vegetation biomass, sea level rise, ground water and natural hazards including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides.

Detailed explanation-4: -NISAR is a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) with the goal to make global measurements of the causes and consequences of land surface changes using advanced radar imaging.
