Solution

The correct option is C Only 1 and 3
The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III is a launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). GSLV Mk III will be India’s most powerful launch vehicle yet built. It can lift satellites weighing 4 tonnes to space, double the weight the current GSLV Mk II can lift. It will enable ISRO to launch communication spacecraft to geostationary orbits of 36000 km. Due to the absence of a powerful launcher, ISRO currently launches satellites above two tone, on European rockets, for a big fee.

Q79) Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV)-D6 was successfully launched from the Second Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. Consider the following statements related to it.

1) GSLV-D6 inducted 2117 kg GSAT-6, an advanced communication satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).

2) The satellite is intended to provide V-band communication services in the country

3) This is the third time the indigenously developed Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS) is being carried on-board during a GSLV flight

4) A Cryogenic rocket stage is less efficient as it provides less thrust for every kilogram of propellant it burns compared to solid and earth-storable liquid propellant rocket stages

5) The GSAT or Geosynchronous satellite is a constellation of communication satellites developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) with an objective to make India self-reliant in broadcasting services.
