Question

Q7. Consider the following statements

1. High-thrust Vikas engine and electromechanical actuation system will be inducted into GSAT 6.

2. The high-thrust Vikas engine and other systems would be eventually used in the future missions, including India’s second moon mission, Chandrayaan-II.

Which of the statements are correct?

• A. a) 1 only
• B. b) 2 only
• C. c) Both 1 and 2
• D. d) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

c) Both 1 and 2

• Another high point of the launch of GSAT 6 is the induction of high-thrust Vikas engine and electromechanical actuation system
• The launch is also crucial since Isro will be validating the high-thrust Vikas engine and other systems which would be eventually used in the future missions, including India’s second moon mission, Chandrayaan-II.
• The satellite will also provide a platform for developing technologies such as demonstration of 6 metre S-Band Unfurl able Antenna for communication purposes, hand-held ground terminals and network management techniques that could be useful in satellite based mobile communication applications, the space agency said.
