Read the passage below carefully:

The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) was formally established on May 5, 1999, under the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology in Nigeria. Headquartered in Abuja, NASRDA was mandated to consolidate space science and technology capabilities for socio-economic development. In September 2003, Nigeria launched its first Earth observation satellite, NigeriaSat-1, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. Built by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited in the United Kingdom, NigeriaSat-1 was part of the international Disaster Monitoring Constellation. It operated for eight years, exceeding its designed five-year lifespan, and provided vital imagery for disaster management, environmental monitoring, and mapping across West Africa.

Based on the passage above, determine whether the following statement is True or False:
Nigeria's first Earth observation satellite, NigeriaSat-1, was launched from a space facility located in the United Kingdom.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. According to the text, NigeriaSat-1 was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia, while the United Kingdom was the location of the manufacturing firm, Surrey Satellite Technology Limited.
The statement is False because the passage explicitly identifies the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia as the launch site of NigeriaSat-1. The United Kingdom is mentioned only as the country where the manufacturing firm, Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, is located.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the explicit detail in the passage regarding the launch site of NigeriaSat-1.
The text states that Nigeria launched NigeriaSat-1 'from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia.'
Literal comprehension requires extracting stated facts directly from the reading passage without altering geographical details.
2
Compare the claim in the statement with the extracted text evidence.
The statement claims the satellite was launched from the United Kingdom, conflating the manufacturing location with the launch site.
Differentiating between where the satellite was constructed (United Kingdom) and where it was launched (Russia) resolves the literal misreading error.
