Which of the following statements about the Indian GSAT satellite series is CORRECT?
hard Q10 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand GSAT satellite functions
GSAT satellites are Indian communication satellites operating in Geostationary Orbit.Step 2: Analyze each statement
GSAT is not primarily for Earth observation (that is Cartosat); GSAT satellites do not operate in Low Earth Orbit but GEO; IRNSS is the navigation system, not GSAT.Step 3: Confirm correct statement
GSAT satellites provide telecommunication and broadcasting services from Geostationary Orbit.Final Answer:
GSAT satellites provide telecommunication and broadcasting services from Geostationary Orbit → Option CQuick Check:
GSAT function = Telecommunication from GEO orbit ✅
Quick Trick: GSAT = Communication satellites in Geostationary Orbit.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing GSAT with Cartosat (Earth observation) or IRNSS (navigation).
