Answer 1

Answer:

B. 53rd

• Correct Answer : Option b) 53rd

• PSLV-C51 was the 53rd flight in the PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) sequence conducted by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

• PSLV-C51 was launched on February 28, 2021, from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This mission was significant as it carried Brazil's primary satellite Amazonia-1 along with 18 co-passenger satellites. Amazonia-1 was Brazil's first earth observation satellite designed, assembled, and tested in Brazil.

• The PSLV is India's workhorse launch vehicle with multiple successful missions. The naming convention for PSLV launches includes "C" followed by a number indicating the chronological mission number. Hence, PSLV-C51 was the 53rd flight in the PSLV sequence of launches.
