(D) Launch of Mars Orbiter Mission

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) - This places Aditya-L1 (2024) first and Mars Orbiter (2013) last, which is incorrect.

Option 2 -> (D), (B), (C), (A) - This places Mars Orbiter (2013) before Bhaskara-I (1979), which is chronologically wrong.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - This places Chandrayaan-I (2008) first and Bhaskara-I (1979) last, which reverses the actual order.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - This correctly orders: Bhaskara-I (1979), Chandrayaan-I (2008), Mars Orbiter Mission (2013), and Aditya-L1 (2024).


Hence, Option 4: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Bhaskara-I was India's first earth observation satellite launched in 1979, followed by the lunar mission Chandrayaan-I in 2008, then the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) in 2013, and most recently Aditya-L1 which was inserted into halo orbit in 2024 -> correct
