Science & Technology MCQs

DRDO's recent advancements in AI are specifically targeted towards enhancing the capabilities of next-generation fighter jets.

ISRO is the primary space agency of India responsible for space exploration and research, including the Shukrayaan-1 mission.

The mission is designed to investigate Venus's atmosphere, including its composition, dynamics, and interaction with the solar wind, as well as its surface features.

Shukrayaan-1 is ISRO's planned orbiter mission to Venus, aiming to study its atmosphere and surface.

The core function of such an AI system is to accurately identify diseases at an early stage and often suggest appropriate treatments, empowering farmers to make informed decisions and protect their crops.

Crop disease detection often involves analyzing visual data (images of leaves, stems, etc.) to identify symptoms. Computer Vision is the field of AI that enables computers to "see" and interpret visual information.

Early detection of crop diseases allows farmers to take prompt remedial actions, such as applying specific treatments, thereby preventing the disease from spreading and causing significant yield losses.

All of ISRO's primary operational launch vehicles – PSLV, GSLV, and SSLV – incorporate solid rocket motors or boosters in their initial stages to provide the necessary high thrust for lift-off.

Solid rocket boosters are known for their simplicity, robust design, and ability to provide very high thrust for a short duration, making them ideal for the initial lift-off phase of heavy launch vehicles.

New generation solid rocket boosters, such as the HS200, are vital for increasing the payload capacity and reliability of launch vehicles, making them crucial for ambitious human spaceflight missions like Gaganyaan.
