Q. With reference to Propulsion module of Chandrayaan-3 Consider the following statements
1. The main objective of propulsion module was to ferry the Lander module from geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) to the final lunar polar circular orbit and separate the Lander
2. It is equipped with a payload called SpectroPolarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE).
Which of the following statements are correct?

[A] Only 1

[B] Only 2

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 and 2

Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation- The propulsion module was a part of Chandrayaan-3. The primary objective of the module was to carry the Vikram Lander Module from launch vehicle injection till the final lunar 100 km circular polar orbit and separate the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module.

The module also carried a payload called the SpectroPolarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE). It is an experimental instrument to look back at Earth and study the signatures that make it habitable to identify habitable exoplanets.
