Science & Technology MCQs

The AI breakthrough utilizes advanced machine learning to process complex climate variables faster, leading to more accurate long-term climate projections.

Earth observation satellites like EOS-X are typically placed in Sun-Synchronous Orbits (SSO) to ensure consistent lighting conditions for imaging.

EOS-X is specifically designed to provide high-resolution data for land mapping, resource management, and disaster monitoring.

PSLV-C58 was utilized for the successful deployment of the EOS-X satellite, which is designed for high-resolution Earth imaging.

Given the significant payload mass and complexity of a lunar sample return mission, LVM3 (Launch Vehicle Mark-3), ISRO's heaviest operational rocket, is the most suitable and expected launch vehicle for Chandrayaan-4.

A lunar sample return mission typically involves a lander to reach the surface, an ascender to lift the samples from the surface, and a sample return capsule to bring them back to Earth. A solar probe is used for studying the Sun, not for lunar missions.

Chandrayaan-4 is envisioned as India's first lunar sample return mission, specifically targeting the South Pole region for scientific analysis of lunar regolith.

The high cost of advanced robotics and the requirement for trained personnel to operate and maintain them pose significant barriers to adoption, especially for small and marginal farmers.

AI robots can perform tasks with high precision, optimizing the use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing wastage.
