Space Programme MCQ — 52 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the Cabinet approved the Venus Orbiter Mission on September 18, 2024. Statement 2 is correct because the mission is to orbit a scientific spacecraft around Venus. Statement 3 is correct because the stated study areas are the surface, subsurface, atmospheric processes and solar influence. Combinations that omit any of these statements leave out a part of the cited approval note.

Explanation

Statement 1, Statement 2 and Statement 3 are all correct because ISRO lists PSLV, GSLV and LVM3 as India's three active operational launch vehicles. Any combination that leaves out PSLV, GSLV or LVM3 is incomplete against the cited ISRO launcher list.

Explanation

The Assertion is true because the Cabinet approved the Next Generation Launch Vehicle on September 18, 2024 as a reusable low-cost launch vehicle concept with higher capability than LVM3. The Reason is also true: PIB specifies three times the present payload capability and 1.5 times the cost compared to LVM3, along with reusability and modular green propulsion. Those details directly justify the description in the Assertion; verdicts that deny the Assertion, deny the Reason, or separate the Reason from the Assertion do not fit the cited fact.

Explanation

The Assertion is true because the Cabinet approval date for Chandrayaan-4 was 18 September 2024. The Reason is also true because the mission is meant to demonstrate return-to-Earth technology after a Moon landing and lunar sample collection and analysis. However, those mission objectives do not explain the exact approval date; they describe what Chandrayaan-4 is intended to demonstrate. Claims that the Reason is false or that the Assertion is false contradict the cited fact.

Explanation

IN-SPACe was created in the Department of Space to promote, authorise and oversee the space-sector activities of Non-Government Entities. Astronaut training for Gaganyaan belongs to the human-spaceflight ecosystem, remote-sensing data archives are a different institutional function, and launch-vehicle manufacturing is not the stated creation mandate of IN-SPACe.
