| S1: | When a satellite is launched, the rocket begins by going slowly upwards through the air. |
| P : | However, the higher it goes, the less air it meets. |
| Q : | As the rocket goes higher, it travels faster. |
| R : | For the atmosphere becomes thinner. |
| S : | As a result there is less friction. |

Correct sequence will be QRPS which is not given in option, friction is due to air so statement S FOLLOWED BY statement P.

Friction make the rocket hot. So S will be end point. Air makes friction. So P comes just before the friction topic. :)

In statement [S],"As a" is there. It means for some reason there is less friction.
This reason is mentioned in [R] that "due to atmosphere gets thinner". So S always follows R.
We get RS.
Now in [P], "However" is there, So there must be conflicting statement before it. Hence P follows Q.
So we get QP.
Now there are two possibility either "RSQP" or "QPRS". for selecting one between these two option we read statement [S6].
Definitely statement S makes meaning before S6 but P don't.
Therefore our sequence goes QPRS.
