Question

Which satellite was launched from the launch vehicle $SLV-3$ constructed in India?
(A) Aryabhatta
(B) Rohini
(C) Bhaskar $I$
(D) Bhaskar $II$

Answer 1

Hint: Rohini became the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an Indian made launched vehicle $SLV-3$ . Rohini is basically a series of satellites that are launched by ISRO. This series consists of four satellite launched vehicles. The successful culmination of the $SLV-3$ showed way to the advanced satellite launch vehicle.

Complete step by step solution:
SLV stands for Satellite Launch vehicle. $SLV-3$ was India’s first experimental satellite launched vehicle, which was basically a four stage vehicle weighing $17$ tonnes that is capable of placing $40$ kg payload in the LEO.
 $SLV-3$ was successfully launched on $\text{July 18, 1980}$ from SHAR . When Rohini’s first satellite $RS-1$ was placed in orbit, thereby making India the sixth member of an exclusive club of space faring nations.
After a year Rohini satellites carry remote sensing sensors. This also helps in the project development of some advanced launched vehicles such as Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle ASLV, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV.
In the year $\text{August, 1979}$ the first experimental flight of the $SLV-3$ , was a failure. It took almost one year to make it successful. Kalam sir launched it. Exactly eleven months later got the message the Rocket blasted off. He was the project director of the $SLV-3$ .
Rohini was the first satellite launched by $SLV-3$ constructed in India.
So option B is the correct option.

Note :
After a year Rohini satellites carry remote sensing sensors. This also helps in the project development of some advanced launched vehicles such as Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle ASLV, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV.
