Science & Technology MCQs

The National Quantum Mission (NQM) was approved for a period of eight years, from 2023 to 2031, with a total outlay of over ₹6,000 crore.

The National Quantum Mission aims to scale up scientific and industrial R&D in Quantum Technology, focusing on Quantum Computing, Quantum Communication, Quantum Sensing, and Quantum Materials.

NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of ISRO, is responsible for the commercial operations and capacity leasing of the GSAT-N2 satellite.

GSAT-N2 is a high-throughput satellite designed to provide high-speed broadband connectivity, specifically targeting in-flight and maritime communication needs.

ISRO utilized SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch the GSAT-N2 (GSAT-20) satellite as it exceeded the payload capacity of India's LVM3 launch vehicle.

Personalized therapy targets the specific mutations in a patient's cancer, leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to generalized treatments.

Personalized therapy relies on understanding the genetic makeup of the tumor, which requires expertise in genomics and bioinformatics.

AI models are being used to analyze genomic data to predict how individual patients will respond to specific cancer treatments.

NavIC satellites transmit signals in the L5 and S-bands to provide precise positioning and timing services.

NavIC is designed to provide accurate position information service to users in India and the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary.
