Science & Technology MCQs

NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) is designed to provide accurate real-time positioning and timing services primarily for users in India and a region extending up to 1500 km around its boundaries.

NVS-01, the first of the next-generation NavIC satellites, was successfully launched by the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F12) from Sriharikota.

The next-generation NavIC satellites (NVS series) introduce the L1 frequency band, making them dual-frequency (L1 and L5). This enhancement improves accuracy and interoperability with other global navigation satellite systems, particularly for civilian applications.

Detecting cancer at an early stage, before it has spread significantly, greatly increases the chances of successful treatment, better patient outcomes, and higher survival rates.

AI tools, particularly those based on machine learning and deep learning algorithms, are highly effective in analyzing complex medical images like mammograms, CT scans, and MRIs to detect anomalies and potential cancerous growths.

AI tools can analyze vast amounts of medical data, such as images and patient records, to identify subtle patterns indicative of cancer with greater accuracy and speed than traditional methods, leading to earlier diagnosis.

Chandrayaan-3 successfully achieved a soft landing near the lunar south pole, making India the first country to achieve this feat and explore this scientifically significant region.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the national space agency of India and is solely responsible for planning and executing the Chandrayaan missions.

Chandrayaan is India's lunar exploration program, with 'Chandra' meaning Moon in Sanskrit, focusing on studying the Moon's surface and environment.

Aircraft carriers serve as mobile airbases, enabling the projection of air power and control over vast maritime areas, far from land-based airfields.
