What is the maximum payload capacity of India's upcoming Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) to Low Earth Orbit (LEO)?
Correct Answer: C — 30 tonnes
India's NGLV, being developed by ISRO, is designed with a modular architecture capable of carrying up to 30 tonnes to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This high-capacity vehicle will support satellite launches, human spaceflight, and interplanetary missions, succeeding the PSLV and GSLV families with greater payload capacity and reliability. LEO refers to orbits between 160 km and 2,000 km altitude, commonly used for Earth observation and communication satellites.
