​Choose the correct code of the payloads from the mentioned below which were
launched by PSCV-C55?
A. TeLEOS-2
B. POEM-2
C. LUMILITE-4
D. EOS-07​

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) A, B and C

Explanation:

The correct payloads launched by the PSLV-C55 are:

• TeLEOS-2 is a Singaporean earth observation satellite launched aboard PSLV-C55.
• POEM-2 (Polar Orbiting Earth Monitoring) is a small experimental satellite for monitoring and observing the earth’s surface. It was also part of PSLV-C55 payloads.
• LUMILITE-4 is a small-scale imaging satellite developed for technology demonstration purposes.
• The PSLV-C55 successfully carried TeLEOS-2, POEM-2, and LUMILITE-4 payloads during its mission.

Information Booster:

EOS-07, an Earth observation satellite launched by ISRO, was deployed aboard the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)-D2 mission on February 10, 2023.
