SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 40

Correct Answer

3

Explanation

The Gaganyaan mission is India's first human spaceflight program, designed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The mission is specifically engineered to carry a crew of 3 members into a low Earth orbit at an altitude of 400 km for a duration of three days, followed by a safe return to Earth in the Indian Ocean.

The spacecraft consists of a Crew Module (CM) and a Service Module (SM), which together form the Orbital Module. The design prioritizes crew safety through robust launch abort systems and environmental control life support systems (ECLSS), which ensure a habitable environment for the three astronauts during their mission.
