5. Question
1 pointsCategory: Science and TechnologyWhat is Kessler Syndrome ?
Correct
The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect, proposed by the NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade—each collision generating space debris which increases the likelihood of further collisions. One implication is that the distribution of debris in orbit could render space exploration, and even the use of satellites, unfeasible for many generations.

6. Question
1 pointsCategory: Science and TechnologyConsider the following statements about GSLV Mk3
- It can carry up to 4500 to 5000 kg satellites.
- It is a 4 stage vehicle.
- It will use cryogenic engine and not solid and liquid propellants.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Correct
GSLV Mk-3 is the latest version of GSLV. It can carry up to 4500 to 5000 kg satellites. Until now, India relied on EU’s Arianespace launch vehicle to send those INSAT-4 satellites. It will consist of 3 stages. 1st stage will have solid propellant, 2nd stage will have liquid propellant and 3rd stage will be cryogenic engine. GSLV MK-3 will make ISRO a competitive player in commercial launches of foreign satellites.
