Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation –
Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The Indian space program has shifted from a supply-driven model to a demand-driven model following reforms in 2019-2020. In the demand-driven model, satellites are built and launched only if there is existing demand for their services. Project Soorya, also known as the Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) project, aims to develop a new launch vehicle with greater payload capacity and reusability. It focuses on building the country’s own space station and sending Indians to the Moon.
