ANSWER: None
Explanation:
- PSLV C-29 put six Singapore satellites into orbit.
- The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has completed 50 launches from the Satellite Launching Station in Sriharikota Range
- This is the 32nd flight of PSLV and 11th flight of the launch vehicle in 'core-alone' configuration.
- Satellites : TeLEOS-1 is Singapore's first commercial earth observation satellite designed and developed by ST Electronics. The other five co-passenger satellites are VELOX-C1 (123 kg), VELOX-II (13 kg), Kent Ridge-1 (78 kg), Galassia (3.4 kg) and Athenoxat-1.

2. It uses solid rocket propellant only.
a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both
d. None

Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: Only 1
Explanation:
- It uses indigenously developed Cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS).
- GSLV-D6 is the ninth flight of India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
- The GSLV is a three-stage rocket. The core of first stage is fired with solid fuel while the four strap-on motors by liquid fuel. The second is the liquid fuel and the third is the cryogenic engine.
