1. It is a miniature satellite developed by ISRO
2. It has been placed into a geo-transfer orbit
3. It will provide both meteorological and rescue services

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: 2 & 3 Only
Notes: The Indian Space Research Organisation has launched an advanced weather satellite called INSAT-3DR using the rocket GSLV-F05. It is not a miniature satellite, as miniature satellites are small satellites of low mass and size, usually under 500 kg. The satellite INSAT 3DR, weighing 2,211 kg, has been put into a geo-transfer orbit. It will provide both meteorological and rescue services.
