Mega Quiz Correct Answer with Explanation!
Q. Which of the following best describes Mission Drishti?
(a) India’s first indigenous reusable launch vehicle mission
(b) The world’s first OptoSAR Earth observation satellite integrating EO and SAR technologies
(c) A dedicated lunar orbiter developed jointly with Japan
(d) A navigation satellite intended exclusively for maritime operations
Answer: (b) The world’s first OptoSAR Earth observation satellite integrating EO and SAR technologies
Explanation:
Mission Drishti is a landmark achievement in India’s growing private space ecosystem. Developed by Bengaluru-based startup GalaxEye, it represents a major innovation in remote sensing and Earth observation technology.
Mission Drishti is recognized as the world’s first OptoSAR satellite. This means it integrates Electro-Optical (EO) imaging and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging into a single platform.
Electro-optical sensors capture detailed visual imagery during daylight and under clear atmospheric conditions. However, they face operational limitations during cloudy weather, night-time, smoke, or heavy rainfall.
Synthetic Aperture Radar overcomes these limitations by using radar pulses instead of visible light. SAR systems can generate images regardless of weather conditions or time of day.
The integration of EO and SAR capabilities into one satellite provides continuous, all-weather Earth observation capability with improved accuracy and reliability.
The satellite weighs approximately 190 kilograms and offers imagery with 1.5 metre resolution, making it highly useful for precision geospatial applications.
Its applications include border surveillance, disaster management, infrastructure monitoring, agriculture analysis, defence intelligence, and insurance assessment.
Mission Drishti also demonstrates the increasing maturity of India’s private space sector following regulatory reforms encouraging private participation in space technology.
The mission was launched aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from California, highlighting the global integration of India’s emerging space startups.
The mission is technologically important because combining EO and SAR systems in a compact satellite platform presents substantial engineering challenges related to power, imaging synchronization, and data processing.
Q.Consider the following statements:
Assertion (A):
The Bureau of Indian Standards represents India in international standardization organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Reason (R):
BIS is India’s national standards body established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
(a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation
(b) Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation
(c) A is correct but R is not correct
(d) A is not correct but R is correct
Answer: (a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation
Explanation:
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) serves as the apex national body responsible for standardization and quality certification in India. It plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality, consumer protection, and industrial standardization.
The assertion is correct because BIS officially represents India in global standardization bodies such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The reason is also correct and appropriately explains the assertion. BIS derives its authority from the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, which formally establishes it as India’s national standards body.
BIS is the successor organization of the Indian Standards Institution (ISI), which had originally been established in 1947.
The organization operates under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.
