Practice Questions

Q1. Consider the following statements: 1. In NavIC, all satellites are placed in low Earth orbit. 2. NavIC coverage includes India and a region up to 1500 km beyond the Indian boundary. 3. NavIC services are provided only in the L1 band. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 1 and 3 only
C Only 2 Correct
D None of the above

Explanation

Statement 1 is false: ISRO says NavIC uses geostationary and inclined geosynchronous orbits. Statement 2 is true because ISRO defines the coverage as India plus 1500 km beyond the Indian boundary. Statement 3 is false: the cited service bands are L5 and S, with L1 being introduced for forthcoming satellites.

Q2. Consider the following statements about GAGAN: 1. GAGAN stands for GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation. 2. GAGAN is a Satellite Based Augmentation System. 3. GAGAN is implemented jointly with the Airport Authority of India. 4. GAGAN is ISRO's replacement name for the NavIC seven-satellite constellation. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 4 only
B 2 and 3 only
C 1, 2 and 3 only Correct
D 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct: ISRO expands GAGAN, describes it as an SBAS, and states that it is implemented jointly with AAI. Statement 4 is false because ISRO treats GAGAN and IRNSS/NavIC as separate navigation initiatives, not one as a replacement name for the other.

Q3. Consider the following statements about NavIC: 1. NavIC is designed with a constellation of 7 satellites. 2. Three NavIC satellites are placed in geostationary orbit. 3. Four NavIC satellites are placed in polar Sun-synchronous orbit. 4. NavIC ground infrastructure includes a precise timing facility. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1, 2 and 4 only Correct
B 1 and 3 only
C 2, 3 and 4 only
D 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: ISRO states that NavIC has 7 satellites, with three in geostationary orbit. Statement 3 is false: the remaining four are in inclined geosynchronous orbit, not polar Sun-synchronous orbit. Statement 4 is correct because the ground network includes a precise timing facility.

Q4. Consider the following statements about Indian remote sensing satellites: 1. ISRO's operational remote sensing satellite programme began with IRS-1A in 1988. 2. India has one of the largest constellations of remote sensing satellites in operation. 3. Indian remote sensing satellites are used only for military communication. 4. Their instruments provide data at diversified spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1, 2 and 4 only Correct
B 1 and 3 only
C 2, 3 and 4 only
D 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct from ISRO's Earth observation overview. Statement 3 is false because the same source lists applications including agriculture, water resources and urban planning, not only military communication.

Q5. Consider the following statements: 1. NavIC was earlier known as the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. 2. NavIC is designed with a constellation of 24 satellites. 3. NavIC coverage includes India and a region up to 1500 km beyond the Indian boundary. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only
B 1 and 3 only Correct
C Only 2
D None of the above

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: ISRO says NavIC was erstwhile known as IRNSS. Statement 2 is false because the designed constellation has 7 satellites, not 24. Statement 3 is correct because ISRO specifies coverage over India and up to 1500 km beyond the boundary.
