UPSC 1995: In the field of space technology, India has demonstrated during 1994 her capability to
(a)design advanced inter-continental ballistic missile warning systems
(b)build satellites
(c)build stealth missiles
(d)launch geo-stationary satellites
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) launch geo-stationary satellites
In 1994, flights of India’s indigenous launchers (SROSS-C2 on 4 May and PSLV-D2 carrying IRS-P2 on 15 Oct) proved that the country had mastered injection of payloads into transfer orbits intended for geostationary positioning, marking a milestone recognised by the UPSC key as the demonstration of capability to launch geo-stationary satellites. Designing ICBM-warning systems or stealth missiles was not undertaken, and India had been building satellites since 1975, so options (a)-(c) are invalid.
