Which satellite was launched from the launch vehicle SLV3SLV-3 constructed in India?
(A) Aryabhatta
(B) Rohini
(C) Bhaskar II
(D) Bhaskar IIII

Explanation

Solution

Rohini became the first satellite to be placed in orbit by an Indian made launched vehicle SLV3SLV-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 SLV3SLV-3 showed way to the advanced satellite launch vehicle.

Complete step by step solution:
SLV stands for Satellite Launch vehicle. SLV3SLV-3 was India’s first experimental satellite launched vehicle, which was basically a four stage vehicle weighing 1717 tonnes that is capable of placing 4040 kg payload in the LEO.
SLV3SLV-3 was successfully launched on July 18, 1980\text{July 18, 1980} from SHAR . When Rohini’s first satellite RS1RS-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 August, 1979\text{August, 1979} the first experimental flight of the SLV3SLV-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 SLV3SLV-3 .
Rohini was the first satellite launched by SLV3SLV-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.
