With reference to space science, satellite launch technology, and nanotechnology, consider the following statements: 1. The cryogenic engine used in India's launch vehicles uses liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer at extremely low temperatures, which is mandatory only for sub-orbital missions providing high thrust. 2. Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) under the 'Startup Blueprint', the 'Small Satellite Launch Vehicle' (SSLV) is designed to place satellites up to 500 kg into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at a low cost, and features a rapid turnaround time. 3. Under nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes are considered extremely useful in the construction of space elevators and advanced composite materials due to their high tensile strength, electrical, and thermal conductivity. 4. Unlike the Global Positioning System (GPS), India's indigenous navigation system 'NavIC' uses a combination of satellites placed in Geostationary (GEO) and Geosynchronous (GSO) orbits, providing accurate positioning service within the Indian mainland and a 1,500 km radius around it.
