ISRO launched India's first satellite _____ in the year 1975.
The correct option is D Aryabhatta
Aryabhata, first unmanned Earth satellite
built by India. It was named for a prominent Indian astronomer and
mathematician of the 5th century ce. The satellite
was assembled at Peenya, near Bangalore, but was launched from within the Soviet
Union by a Russian-made rocket on April 19, 1975. Aryabhata
weighed 794 pounds (360 kilograms) and was instrumented to explore conditions
in the Earth’s ionosphere, measure neutrons and gamma rays from the Sun, and
perform investigations in X-ray astronomy. The scientific instruments had to be
switched off during the fifth day in orbit because of a failure in the
satellite’s electrical power system. Useful information, nevertheless, was
collected during the five days of operation.
