Which series of Indian satellites is used for telecommunications, broadcasting, and meteorology?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → INSAT series
The Indian National Satellite System (INSAT), begun in 1983, is the country’s family of geostationary satellites for telecommunications, television broadcasting and meteorology, and it also carries payloads for search and rescue.
The IRS satellites are for remote sensing of land and resources, RISAT carries radar imaging for all-weather observation, and the GSAT satellites, though also communication craft, form the later series that supplements INSAT rather than the one named for all three services.
