Q. Consider the following pairs:
Space Mission Space Agency 1. HAYABUSA JAXA 2. OSIRIS-REx ESA 3. LISA Pathfinder NASA 4. Astrosat ISRO
Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Q. Consider the following pairs:
| Space Mission | Space Agency |
| 1. HAYABUSA | JAXA |
| 2. OSIRIS-REx | ESA |
| 3. LISA Pathfinder | NASA |
| 4. Astrosat | ISRO |
The correct option is B
1 and 4 only
Explanation:
Pair 1 is correctly matched: HAYABUSA is the experimental mission to return samples from asteroids by the Japanese Space Agency - JAXA.
Pair 2 is incorrectly matched: •The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft is a mission by NASA. The mission travels to the earth’s nearest asteroid Bennu to collect and return samples to earth by 2023.
Pair 3 is incorrectly matched: LISA Pathfinder was a European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft. The mission tested technologies needed for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), an ESA gravitational wave observatory planned to be launched in 2034
Pair 4 is correctly matched: Astrosat is a multi-wavelength space-based observatory launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
