Question: The experimental satellite SROSS abbreviation means?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer ISRO developed the SROSS (Stretched Rohini Satellite Series) Magnetosphere spacecraft as follow-ons to the successful Rohini satellite series. The SROSS vehicles were designed to carry small scientific and technology payloads, including astrophysics, earth remote sensing, and upper atmospheric monitoring experiments. SROSS C2 carried a gamma-ray burst (GRB) experiment consisting of two scintillators to study celestial gamma ray bursts and a Retarded Potential Analyser (RPA). The GRB monitored celestial gamma ray bursts in the energy range 20-3000 keV. The RPA measured temperature, density and characteristics of electrons in the Earth's ionosphere.
Question: METSAT the first exclusive meteorological satellite built by ISRO is a?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer METSAT is the first exclusive meteorological satellite built by ISRO. METSAT is a geostationary satellite that was launched by an upgraded, four-stage PSLV-C4 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, SHAR on 12 September 2002. It was for the first time that PSLV launched a satellite into GTO; in all its previous flights, PSLV was used to place Indian Remote Sensing Satelittes and other auxiliary payloads in Polar orbits. The triaxially-stabilized, 1,060 kgs (including 560 kg of propellant), 550 W METSAT carries a VHRR (Very High Resolution Radiometer) scanning radiometer for three-band images: one in the visible, the second in the thermal infrared and the third in the water vapor infrared bands, each at a spatial resolution of 2-km x 2-km resolution, to obtain atmospheric cloud cover, water vapor and temperature. It also carries a Data Relay Transponder (DRT) to provide data from unattended fixed/mobile ground level weather platforms. It was maneuvered from the transfer orbit to a geostationary at 37°E longitude on 16 September 2002, and then to the final parking at 74°E longitude on 24 September 2002.
Question: On which spacecraft did Rakesh Sharma make his historic trip to Space?
Incorrect Answer
Correct Answer The Salyut 7 was launched from the Baikanour Cosmodrome on a Soyuz rocket booster. Soyuz is without question one of the greatest rocket launching systems in the world.
