Quintessence Classes · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is I only. Detailed ExplanationStatement I is CORRECT:POEM stands for PSLV Orbital Experimental Module. It is an innovative initiative by ISRO that repurposes the spent fourth stage ($	ext{PS4}$) of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)—which typically becomes space debris—into a stabilized orbital platform to host scientific payloads and perform microgravity experiments. Statement II is INCORRECT: The PSLV-C60 / SpaDeX mission carries POEM-4, making it the fourth mission in the POEM series. The very first POEM mission (POEM-1) was launched much earlier aboard the PSLV-C53 mission in June 2022.
