Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced another successful mission. ISRO chairman S. Somanath said that three small satellites successfully separated and were injected into orbit. ISRO launched three small satellites powered by its SSLV-D2 launch vehicle from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota on February 10, 2023, at 09:18 AM IST. The launch vehicle was carrying EOS-07, Janus-1 & AzaadiSAT-2 satellites and aimed to inject them into a 450 km circular orbit. The launch took place at the first launch pad at SDSC SHAR,
Sriharikota. The SSLV-D2 had to take a 15-minute flight to inject EOS-07, Janus-1, and AzaadiSAT-2 satellites into a 450 km circular lower orbit. “It is configured with three solid propulsion stages and a velocity terminal module. It is a 34 m tall, 2 m diameter vehicle having a lift-off mass of 120 t,” said ISRO. The EOS-07 satellite weighs 156.3 kg and is made by ISRO.
About 13 minutes into its flight, the SSLV rocket ejected EOS-07 and soon after that the other two satellites Janus-1 and AzaadiSAT-2 were ejected — all at an altitude of 450 km, said ISRO.
With the new rocket in its portfolio, ISRO will have three rockets — Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and its variants (cost about Rs 200 crore), Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-MkII cost about Rs 272 crore and LVM3 Rs 434 crore) and SSLV (Development cost of three rockets about Rs 56 crore each) and production cost may go down later.
“New experiments include mm-Wave Humidity Sounder and Spectrum Monitoring Payload. Janus-1, a 10.2 kg satellite belongs to ANTARIS, USA. An 8.7 kg satellite AzaadiSAT-2 is a combined effort of about 750 girl students across India guided by Space Kidz India, Chennai,” it added.
SSLV caters to the launch of up to 500 kg satellites to Low Earth Orbits on a ‘launch-on-demand’ basis. “It provides low-cost access to Space, offers low turn-around time and flexibility in accommodating multiple satellites, and demands minimal launch infrastructure,” as per a statement by ISRO.
Question:
After reading the passage it can be inferred that it is
Option 1: a government release
Option 2: a news item
Option 3: a magazine article
Option 4: an editorial
Correct Answer: a news item
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The language used is factual and objective, providing information about a recent event (the successful launch of three small satellites by ISRO) without expressing opinions or providing analysis. The use of quotes from ISRO officials and specific details about the launch supports the news-like structure of the passage.

Question:
Which satellite was injected into the orbit first?
Option 1: EOS-07
Option 2: Janus 1
Option 3: AzaadiSAT-2
Option 4: Antaris
Correct Answer: EOS-07
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
In the passage, the sequence of events is mentioned regarding the satellite ejection. It states, "About 13 minutes into its flight, the SSLV rocket ejected EOS-07, and soon after that, the other two satellites, Janus-1 and AzaadiSAT-2, were ejected." This indicates that EOS-07 was injected into orbit first.

Thank you. I hope this answer helps you.
M.tech Aerospace specialization which one is best for a rocket or aircraft job? 1) aerodynamics 2)Dynamic and Control 3)aerospace propulsion 4)aerospace Structure
Hello Candidate,
It's good to hear that you are interested in aerospace engineering!!
All the streams are pretty much different as per that job structure and individual courses offering their specialisation. Since most of the choices depend on the choice of individual person, but the stream of aerodynamic specialisation has the maximum number of opportunities among all the given options possible.
Hope it helps you!!
future scope of propulsion? how jobs are in field of propulsion specialization?
Hey there!
A propulsion engineer would only get hired in space centers and other space research groups. So, that makes the job opportunities low because there's not a lot of demand. Ofcourse you could get a job which is somewhat related to your field but if you want a job as a propulsion engineer somewhere the places are not that much in number. If you get your degree from a great college ofcourse that would make things easier for you. You'll have to stand out to get a job like that in places like ISRO because there aren't a lot of spots.
help me to choose the best topic for aerospace project mentioned below; 1.rocket propulsion 2.space robotics 3.space settlements 4.astrophysics 5.satellites 6.mars manned exploration rover.
hii
it should be all upon you what topic you wanna go for but as my personal opinion i'll suggest you to go for satellite one as there would be all which is currently experienced and all currently under research and also this is much more exciting and the easier one .next you may go for astrophysics and followed by space robotics rocket propulsion and than mars but if you wanna something more new discoveries and purely new than just reverse my order..
thanks
