The process is called Xenoparity.  \no Hybrid workers: All Messor ibericus workers were found to be hybrids, carrying about half of their DNA from Messor structor.  \no Genetic Mechanism: The queen achieves this by essentially cloning the genetic material from the stored sperm of a Messor structor male, allowing her to produce pure Messor sructor male offspring. This  \nenables the continuation of the necessary Messor structor lineage.  \nLVM3 Launch vehicle  \nISRO successfully launched LVM3-M5 carrying a communication satellite from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.  \no LVM3 is the new heavy lift launch vehicle of ISRO. It can launch satellites weighing up to 4000 kg into GTO (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit) in a cost-effective way.  \no Names: It was previously known as the GSLV Mark III (GSLV Mk-III) .  \no Consists of: It is a three-stage vehicle with two solid strapon motors (S200), one liquid core stage (L110) and a high thrust cryogenic upper stage (C25) .  \no Flagship mission: Used for Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3, and OneWeb satellite launches, marking India’s entry into the commercial heavy-lift market.  \no Human Spaceflight: It is the designated launch vehicle for the Gaganyaan mission, India's first human spaceflight program. The Human Rated LVM3 (HLVM3) version is being developed for this purpose, incorporating enhanced safety features like the Crew Escape System.  \no Other Heavy Lift launch Vehicles:  \no Space Launch System Block vehicle-NASA : GTO Payload capacity: 27000 kg  \no Falcon Heavy- Space X: GTO Payload capacity: 26700kg  \no Starship – SpaceX: GTO payload capacity 21000 kg  \nMajor Communication Satellites by ISRO  \nISRO successfully launched GSAT-7R, India's heaviest communication satellite.  \no ISRO’s Communication Satellites are part of the INSAT/GSAT series. It is designed to provide telecommunication, television broadcasting, satellite news gathering, and societal applications.  \n03 November 2025  \no Operation level: These are primarily operating in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) at approximately 36,000 km altitude.  \no Indian Satellite Syst","cbCaigJpxLqs8jua","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigJpxLqs8jua","pdf",442230,"English","# Fully Accessible Route (FAR)\n## Voluntary Retention Route (VRR)\n# Messor ibericus (Ant species research)\n# LVM3 Launch vehicle\n# Major Communication Satellites by ISRO\n## Indian Satellite System (INSAT) and GSAT\n## Recent examples: GSAT-11, CMS-03 (GSAT-7R), GSAT-24\n# Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)","[{\"question\":\"What is the Fully Accessible Route (FAR) for foreign investment?\",\"answer\":\"FAR is a separate investment channel that lets non-residents invest in specified Government of India securities.
