Question

The Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS):
(A) Look over a fixed point at the same local time
(B) Are at a low altitude ($<$1000 km)
(C) Are used for weathering forecasting?
(D) Have large agricultural and natural resources application
(E) Provide service to telecommunications

• A. (A), (B), and (D) only
• B. (A), (B), and (C) only
• C. (A), (B), (C), and (D)
• D. (A), (D), and (E) only

Hint:

Differentiate between IRS (resource satellites) and INSAT (communication/weather) systems in Indian remote sensing programs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

IRS satellites are sun-synchronous and polar orbiting (low altitude), useful for fixed-time imaging and agricultural applications. They do not provide telecom services or weather forecasting.
