Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1 and 3 only

• Correct Answer: Option B) 2 and 3 only

• NSIL (NewSpace India Limited) is a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) established in 2019 as the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

• Manufacture of small satellite launch vehicles in collaboration with private sector:This is NOT a function of NSIL.

• The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) development is handled by ISRO, not NSIL. NSIL's role is primarily commercial and marketing, not manufacturing launch vehicles.

• Exclusive marketing of PSLV and GSLV launches for foreign clients:This IS correct.

• NSIL has been mandated with the responsibility of marketing ISRO's launch services internationally. It acts as the commercial interface for foreign satellite launch customers who want to use PSLV and GSLV rockets.

• Productization and marketing of space-based services:This IS correct.

• NSIL is responsible for commercializing space technologies developed by ISRO, including productization and marketing of space-based services, satellite data, and applications.
