Q. Consider the following statements regarding ISS.
Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?
The correct option is A 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: International Space Station (ISS) is a space station assembled in low Earth orbit.
Statement 2 is incorrect: It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada).
- The project is set to expire in 2024, barring funding from its partners. Russia has said recently that it would quit the project from 2025.
- China plans to complete its own permanent space station by the end of 2022. So far, China has sent two previous space stations into orbit. The Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2 were trial stations though, simple modules that allowed only relatively short stays by astronaut
- India has also set its eye on building its own space station in low earth orbit to conduct microgravity experiments in space in 5 to 7 years.
Statement 3 is correct: The station serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields. The ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment required for possible future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars.
