2. Arianespace was associated with launch.
3. Tata Sky is associated with DTH services from INSAT-4A.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because of the following reasons:

Statement 1 is incorrect. While INSAT 4A was indeed launched in December 2005, the launch site was Kourou in French Guiana, South America, not New Mexico.

Statement 2 is correct. The satellite was launched using the Ariane 5 rocket, which is operated by the European launch service provider Arianespace.

Statement 3 is correct. INSAT 4A was specifically designed to boost Direct to Home television services in India, and Tata Sky was the primary service provider that utilized its Ku-band transponders for broadcasting.
