Science & Technology MCQs

The second-generation NavIC satellites, including NVS-03, are designed with enhanced features such as increased power generation capacity and improved search and rescue transponders, contributing to a longer mission life and better performance.

NavIC is India's own regional navigation satellite system, providing accurate positioning and timing services within India and a region extending up to 1500 km from its borders. NVS-03 is part of the second-generation satellites for this system.

Chandrayaan-4 builds upon the successful soft landing and rover deployment technologies validated by Chandrayaan-3, aiming for the more complex task of lunar sample return.

A lunar sample return mission typically requires four main modules: a lander to reach the surface, an ascent vehicle to lift off with samples, an orbiter to rendezvous and transfer samples, and a re-entry capsule to bring samples back to Earth.

Chandrayaan-4 is envisioned as India's first lunar sample return mission, aiming to bring back lunar soil and rock samples for scientific analysis.

AI algorithms can process and analyze massive datasets of molecular structures, biological pathways, and disease mechanisms to predict and identify promising drug candidates much faster than traditional methods.

The breakthrough specifically targets the discovery of new drugs for tropical diseases, which often affect low-income populations and are neglected by major pharmaceutical companies.

Indian researchers have achieved a breakthrough in drug discovery for tropical diseases by leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The EOS (Earth Observation Satellite) series by ISRO is dedicated to observing Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans for various scientific and application-oriented purposes.

The EOS-08 satellite was successfully launched by ISRO using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C54).
