Question

The [x] mission is a highly complex mission, which represents a significant technological leap compared to the previous missions of ISRO. It comprised an Orbiter, Lander and Rover to explore the unexplored [y]. The mission is designed to expand the lunar scientific knowledge through a detailed study of topography, seismography, mineral identification and distribution, surface chemical composition, thermo-physical characteristics of topsoil and composition of the tenuous lunar atmosphere, leading to a new understanding of the origin and evolution of the Moon. 
After the injection of [x], a series of maneuvers were carried out to raise its orbit and on August 14, 2019, following Trans Lunar Insertion (TLI) maneuver, the spacecraft escaped from orbiting the earth and followed a path that took it to the vicinity of the Moon. On August 20, 2019, [x] was successfully inserted into lunar orbit … The Orbiter placed in its intended orbit around the Moon will enrich our understanding of the moon’s evolution and mapping of the minerals and water molecules in Polar regions, using its eight state-of-the-art scientific instruments.

Which of the following is a factually accurate statement in relation to the mission referred to above? 

विकल्प

• The Orbiter that is a part of the mission is the first lunar orbiter launched by India.

• The Lander that is a part of the mission was the first to achieve a soft-landing on the farside of the lunar surface.

• The mission is the first-ever robotic spacecraft mission in the world.

• The Orbiter High Resolution Camera that is a part of the mission is the highest resolution camera in any lunar mission so far.

Answer 1

The Orbiter High Resolution Camera that is a part of the mission is the highest resolution camera in any lunar mission so far.
