| Instrument | Status/
Accuracy | Instrument Description | Measurement Technology | Timeline |
| EPIC | Operational | Provides global spectral images of the entire sunlit face of Earth and insight into Earth's energy balance. EPIC's observations will provide a unique angular perspective, and will be used in science applications to measure ozone amounts, aerosol amounts, cloud height and phase, vegetation properties, hotspot land properties and UV radiation estimates of Earth's surface. | n/a |  |
| P-Band SAR | Operational | Forest biomass monitoring. Products are Forest Above Ground Biomass, Forest height and Forest Distrubance. | n/a | |
| SAR (RISAT) | Operational | Radar backscatter measurements of land, water and ocean surfaces for applications in soil moisture, crop applications (under cloud cover), terrain mapping, etc. | n/a | |
| SAR-L | Operational | Land, ocean, emergencies, soil moisture, interferometry, others. | n/a | |
| S-band SAR | Operational | SAR imagery for a range of applications including agriculture, maritime and forestry | n/a | |
| MOLI Lidar | Being developed | | n/a | |
| S-band SAR (NISAR) | Being developed | 3-year mission to study solid earth deformation (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides), changes in ice (glaciers, sea ice) and changes in vegetation biomass | n/a | |
| CAR | Approved | Panchromatic and multispectral (Vis/IR) measurements with high spatial resolution, with stereo capability for DEM generation. Applications in emergencies in general, agriculture, land use/land cover, change detection, urban environment, cartography, topography. | n/a | |
| L-band SAR (NISAR) | Approved | 3-year mission to study solid earth deformation (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides), changes in ice (glaciers, sea ice) and changes in vegetation biomass | n/a | |
| GEDI | No longer operational | This project will use a laser-based system to study a range of climates, including the observation of the forest canopy structure over the tropics, and the tundra in high northern latitudes. The instrument was placed into storage on the ISS on March 17, 2023, where it is expected to remain for 13-18 months, before continuing operations from 2024. | n/a | |
