Science & Technology MCQs

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.

The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) has been designated for rapid, cost-effective deployment of Earth observation satellites in the current mission cycle.

EOS-08 is the latest in the Earth Observation Satellite series launched by ISRO to demonstrate new technologies for future operational satellites.
