Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
| LIST-I (Satellite) | LIST-II (Launch Year) | ||
| A. | IRS-1A | I. | 1980 |
| B. | Rohini | II. | 1981 |
| C. | Bhaskar-I | III. | 1988 |
| D. | APPLE | IV. | 1979 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
(A) IRS-1A — this matches (III) 1988. Its launch in March 1988 made the Indian Remote Sensing satellite system operational.
(B) Rohini — this matches (I) 1980.
(C) Bhaskar-I — this matches (IV) 1979.
(D) APPLE — this matches (II) 1981. The Arian Passenger Payload Experiment was launched on 19 June 1981.
NCERT (2025-26): “Satellite Communication Communication through satellites emerged as a new area in communication technology since the 1970s after U.S.A. and former U.S.S.R. pioneered space research. Artificial satellites, now, are successfully deployed in the earth’s orbit to connect even the remote corners of the globe with limited on-site verification. These have rendered the unit cost and time of communication invariant in terms of distance. This means it costs the same to communicate over 500 km as it does over 5,000 km via satellite. India has also made great strides in satellite development. Aryabhatt was launched on 19 April 1975, Bhaskar-I in 1979 and Rohini in 1980. On 19 June 1981, APPLE (Arian Passenger Payload Experiment) was launched through Arian rocket.…” “Satellite Communication … On the basis of configuration and purposes, satellite system in India can be grouped into two: Indian National Satellite System (INSAT) and Indian Remote Sensing Satellite System (IRS). The INSAT, which was established in 1983,is a multi-purpose satellite system for telecommunication, meteorological observation and for various other data and programmes. The IRS satellite system became operational with the launching of IRS-IA in March 1988 from Vaikanour in Russia.…” |
