Science & Technology MCQs

AI's ability to process vast datasets and identify complex patterns makes it ideal for climate modeling. This system aims to enhance the accuracy and speed of predicting climate change effects, aiding in mitigation and adaptation strategies.

The Gaganyaan program aims to demonstrate India's human spaceflight capability by sending astronauts to space. The development and testing of a powerful and reliable cryogenic engine are essential for the launch vehicle that will carry the crew.

The Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) is ISRO's dedicated facility for the development of liquid and cryogenic propulsion systems. VSSC is the lead center for overall launch vehicle development, SDSC is the launch site, and URSC is responsible for satellite development.

Cryogenic engines are known for their high efficiency and thrust, making them ideal for the upper stages of rockets, especially for missions requiring significant velocity changes like orbital insertion or interplanetary travel. ISRO's CE-20 engine, tested for Gaganyaan, is designed for this purpose.

INSAT-4DS is considered an enhancement over the INSAT-3D satellite, offering improved performance and advanced features for communication services.

The INSAT-4DS satellite was launched by the GSLV Mk III (also known as LVM3) launch vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

INSAT-4DS is a communication satellite designed to augment the existing INSAT fleet and provide enhanced communication and broadcasting services.

ISRO typically uses its GSLV Mk III rocket for launching heavier communication satellites like the GSAT series into geostationary transfer orbit.

GSAT satellites are typically communication satellites designed to augment India's communication and broadcasting infrastructure.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the primary space agency of India and is responsible for the launch of the GSAT-40 satellite.
