- Statement 1 is correct. Aryabhata was indeed India's first satellite, launched in 1975. It carried payloads for scientific experiments in X-ray astronomy, solar physics (including solar neutrons), and aeronomy. - Statement 2 is correct. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also known as Mangalyaan, launched in 2013, was ISRO's first venture into interplanetary space and specifically its first mission to Mars. - Statement 3 is correct. ADITYA-L1, India's first solar mission, successfully performed a trans-Lagrangian Point 1 insertion manoeuvre and escaped the Earth's sphere of influence on its trajectory towards the Sun-Earth L1 point.
