Discussion
Consider the following statements and select the correct answer using the codes given below :
(1) NASA is the national acquisition and distribution agency for all satellite data in India.
(2) NASA sends the de-coded data to the NNRMS whose activities are guided by various Standing Committees.
Codes :
Answer: D
Neither statement is correct. The national acquisition and distribution agency for satellite data in India is the National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA, now the National Remote Sensing Centre) at Hyderabad, and not NASA, which is the American space agency.
In the second statement, the data are passed on to the NNRMS, the National Natural Resources Management System, but the sender is the NRSA, not NASA, so this is also wrong as worded. Options A, B and C each accept one or both statements.
