Consider the following space missions:
I. Axiom-4
II. SpaDeX
III. Gaganyaan
How many of the space missions given above encourage and support micro-gravity research?
- A.Only one
- B.Only two
- C.All the three
- D.None
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: C. All the three
Axiom missions are private astronaut missions focused on scientific research, including microgravity experiments. Gaganyaan, India's human spaceflight program, aims to conduct various experiments in orbit, including those related to microgravity effects. SpaDeX, a proposed Japanese mission, is also envisioned to support microgravity research by providing platforms for experiments. Therefore, all three missions are designed to facilitate microgravity research.
