Aryabhatta, India's first satellite, was launched from which of the following launching stations?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Russian Rocket Launching Station, Cosmodrome
Aryabhata, India’s first satellite, was built by ISRO and launched on 19 April 1975 by a Soviet Kosmos-3M rocket from Kapustin Yar, a Soviet cosmodrome (rocket launching station) in Russia. It was named after the 5th-century Indian mathematician and astronomer Aryabhata.
India launched a satellite from its own soil only in 1980, when Rohini was carried by the SLV-3 rocket from Sriharikota.
