Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsRegarding India’s first private constellation of Earth Observation (EO) satellites, consider the following:
- The constellation is being developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model led by the Bengaluru-based startup PixxelSpace India.
- The constellation will consist of 12 advanced EO satellites aimed at providing indigenous high-resolution satellite data for both national and global applications.
- This initiative aims to reduce India’s dependence on foreign satellite data and enhance space data sovereignty.
Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?
Correct
nswer: D
Explanation:
- Statement 1: Correct.
PixxelSpace India, a Bengaluru-based space tech startup, leads the consortium developing this private EO satellite constellation under the government’s PPP framework. - Statement 2: Correct.
The constellation will comprise 12 satellites designed to provide high-resolution and hyperspectral data for applications such as climate monitoring, disaster management, agriculture, and national security. - Statement 3: Correct.
A key aim is to reduce reliance on foreign EO satellite data, ensuring security, sovereignty, and availability of indigenous geospatial information.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about Bandipur National Park:
- Bandipur National Park is located in the Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka and was declared a Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger in 1973.
- It shares its boundaries with Nagarahole, Wayanad, and Mudumalai National Parks and forms part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve.
- National Highway 766 cuts through the core area of Bandipur National Park.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation:
- Statement 1: Correct.
Bandipur National Park is located in Karnataka’s Chamarajanagar district and was declared a Tiger Reserve in 1973 as part of Project Tiger. - Statement 2: Correct.
It shares borders with Nagarahole (Karnataka), Wayanad (Kerala), and Mudumalai (Tamil Nadu) National Parks and is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve since 1986. - Statement 3: Correct.
National Highway 766, connecting Kozhikode (Kerala) and Kollegal (Karnataka), passes through the core area of the park, which poses challenges for wildlife movement and conservation.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement I: UAVs/UCAVs have transitioned from reconnaissance tools to precision strike platforms in modern warfare.
Statement II: India’s current UAV fleet, mainly imported, is fully adequate for surveillance and combat along all its borders.
Statement III: Indigenous UAV development in India faces challenges such as bureaucratic red tape and limited private sector participation.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
Statement I is correct because the role of UAVs and UCAVs in modern warfare has evolved significantly. Recent conflicts like the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war (2020) and Operation Sindoor (2025) have demonstrated that drones are no longer limited to reconnaissance but are now key precision strike platforms. This marks a strategic shift in how air power is projected on the battlefield.
Statement II is incorrect as India’s current UAV fleet, which largely comprises imported systems such as the Israeli Harop and Heron drones, is considered outdated and insufficient. These platforms lack the necessary capabilities for high-altitude surveillance and precision strike required along India’s challenging and contested borders with China and Pakistan. The text clearly states that existing systems are inadequate for these critical missions.
Statement III is correct because indigenous UAV development in India faces significant domestic barriers, including bureaucratic red tape, the dominance of public sector undertakings (PSUs) which slows down innovation, and limited participation and R&D investment by the private sector. These constraints hinder the rapid advancement of cutting-edge drone technologies.
Thus, the correct option is (d) since both Statement I and Statement III are true, while Statement II is false.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsNASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory satellites (OCO-2 and OCO-3) are important because they:
Correct
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
OCO satellites measure atmospheric CO₂ levels globally to identify emission sources and carbon sinks like forests. This data is vital for climate change research and policy. They do not focus on nitrogen cycles (a), space debris (c), or direct temperature measurements (d), though their data helps model temperature changes.Incorrect
