Options
📖Detailed Explanation
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: The IN-SPACe is an autonomous nodal agency under the Department of Space. It facilitates and authorises the participation of private companies in space activities, acting as a regulatory and promotional interface between ISRO and private players.
Statement 2 is correct: Agnikul Cosmos successfully achieved a milestone with the world's first semi-cryogenic rocket engine test/flight involving a 3D-printed single-piece engine, marking a major innovation in rocket manufacturing technology.
Statement 3 is incorrect. Skyroot Aerospace has not developed liquid fuel for the GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle). GSLV propulsion systems are developed by ISRO, not private startups. Skyroot is focused on its own launch vehicles (like Vikram series) and not on supplying propellants or engines for GSLV.

Our journey with Shubhankar began nearly 2 years ago. When he couldn't upload his GS1 mock due to a glitch, we fixed it immediately. After reading his answers, we knew: "You will rock the show!"
It was his second attempt, first mains. Nervous but exceptional quality. Months of evaluations, feedback, and fine-tuning followed. He renewed Zenith for 2025.
Result day: AIR 52. He called to express gratitude. That call meant everything.
