Q. With reference to the advancements in robotics and space exploration, consider the following statements: - The walking robotic arm developed by ISRO can perform repairs outside the space station.
- The debris capture robotic manipulator is designed to capture free-floating space debris.
- The Reaction Wheel Assembly helps control the attitude of spacecraft using thrusters.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Answer:
Only two
Notes: - The walking robotic arm developed by ISRO can perform repairs outside the space station: This is correct. The robotic arm is designed to maneuver in space and assist in various functions, including repairs.
- The debris capture robotic manipulator is designed to capture free-floating space debris: This is correct. The manipulator uses visual feedback techniques to capture and manage space debris.
- The Reaction Wheel Assembly helps control the attitude of spacecraft using thrusters: This is incorrect. Reaction wheels control spacecraft orientation through momentum exchange, not thrusters.
Thus, two of the statements are correct.
