Which of the following statements regarding the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are correct?
- AOnly 1 and 3
- BOnly 1 and 2
- COnly 2 and 3
- D1, 2 and 3
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
ISRO has developed both the PSLV and the GSLV, so statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is wrong because heavy communication satellites for geostationary orbit are launched by the GSLV, while the PSLV mainly serves polar and sun-synchronous low Earth orbits. Chandrayaan-3 did achieve a soft landing on the Moon, so statement 3 is correct. The right combination is 1 and 3.
