Science & Technology MCQs

By providing more accurate climate predictions and impact assessments, the AI system will bolster India's capabilities in disaster preparedness, mitigation, and building climate resilience.

The AI system leverages satellite imagery and vast meteorological datasets to analyze climate trends, predict future scenarios, and assess the impact of climate change.

The National Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, has developed and deployed an AI-driven climate monitoring system.

The RLV-TD is designed to mimic the landing profile of the Space Shuttle, which was a winged, reusable spacecraft that could land like an airplane.

The RLV-TD test aimed to demonstrate autonomous landing capabilities, a crucial step towards developing reusable launch vehicles that can reduce the cost of space missions.

ISRO successfully conducted the test of its Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) - Technology Demonstrator (TD) on April 7, 2024, at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

Multiple premier institutions including IISc, TIFR, and various IITs are collaborating under the NQM to develop indigenous quantum computing hardware.

The lab focuses on bridging the gap between theoretical quantum research and practical applications in sectors like finance, logistics, and healthcare.

The National Quantum Mission (NQM), approved by the government, aims to develop intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50-1000 physical qubits.

Hyperspectral imaging is being integrated into recent missions to provide detailed surface material identification, crucial for disaster monitoring.
