Mini Mock Test for India Post, IBPS,& SBI SO & RBI Exam – 131 for PO, Clerk, SO, Insurance Exams

Question 1

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

India’s first-ever Mars probe is now one year into its historic mission, and it’s still going strong. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) spacecraft, also known as Mangalyan, arrived at the Red Planet on the night of Sept, 23,2014 (Sept, 24 GMT and Indian Standard Time) just two days after NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution probe (MAVEN) reached Mars Orbit.

Mangalyan, which means “Mars craft” in English, was the first interplanetary probe ever launched by India and its $73 million mission is primarily a technology demonstration, officials with the Indian Space Research Organisation (SRC) have said. But Mangalyan carries a color camera and four scientific instruments, which it has been using to study the Martian surface and atmosphere over the past 12 months.

To celebrate the anniversary, ISRO has compiled some of MOM’s best images and most interesting scientific results in a 120 page ‘Mars Atlas’. MOM’s mission was originally scheduled to last 6 months, but operations were extended by an additional 6 months earlier this year. Further extensions are likely; ISRO officials have said that Mangalyan has enough fuel onboard to keep studying Mars for years to come.

MOM might even last long enough to welcome a sister craft to Mars orbit. ISRO officials announced last year that the county plans to launch a Mangalyaan 2 mission in the 2018-2020 time frame. MOM and MAVEN, which seek to determine how fast Mars’ atmosphere is being lost to space, are not the only operational spacecraft orbiting the Red Planet.

NASA’s Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter are also eyeing the planet from above as is the European Space Agency’s Mars Express probe. (The latter three spacecraft arrived at Mars in 2001, 2006, and 2003, respectively). Two NASA rovers are also actively exploring the Martian surface – Opportunity, which landed in January 2004, and Curiosity, which survived a dramatic and unprecedented “sky crane”.
