With reference to India's X-ray Polarimeter Satellite (XPoSat) mission launched by ISRO, consider the following statements:
1. It is India's first dedicated scientific observatory to study the polarization of cosmic X-ray sources.
2. The spacecraft was launched into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) using the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3).
3. It carries two primary scientific payloads named POLIX and XSPECT.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
- A1 and 2 only
- 1 and 3 onlyCevap
- C2 and 3 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Cevap
Statements 1 and 3 are correct.
The statement identifying XPoSat as India's first dedicated X-ray polarimetry observatory is accurate. Furthermore, the statement listing POLIX and XSPECT as its two onboard scientific payloads is also accurate. The statement claiming a GTO insertion via LVM3 is wrong because the satellite was launched into a Low Earth Orbit by PSLV-C58.
