Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsRecently South Atlantic Anomaly concept was seen in the news in context of:
Correct
Explanation:
South Atlantic Anomaly
The SAA is referred to the behaviour of Earth’s Geo-Magnetic field in an area between Africa and South America.
The SAA is an area where the Earth’s inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to the Earth’s surface, dipping down to an altitude of 200 kilometres.
This leads to an increased flux of energetic particles in this region and exposes orbiting satellites to higher-than-usual levels of radiation.
The effect is caused by the non-concentricity of the Earth and its magnetic dipole.
The SAA is the near-Earth region where the Earth’s magnetic field is weakest relative to an idealized Earth-centered dipole field.Incorrect

1. Yinghuo-1
2. Tianwen-1 Mission
3. The ambitious Perseverance
4. InSightChoose the correct code from the option below:
Correct
Explanation:
Various missions on Mars
The USSR in 1971 became the first country to carry out a Mars landing– its ‘Mars 3’ lander being able to transmit data for 20 seconds from the Martian surface before failing.
The country made it’s second and Mars landing two years later in 1973.
The second country to reach Mars’s surface, the US, holds the record for the most number of Mars landings.
Since 1976, it has achieved 8 successful Mars landings, the latest being the ‘InSight’ in 2019 (launched in 2018).
India and the European Space Agency have been able to place their spacecraft in Mars’s orbit.
India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) or ‘Mangalyaan’ was able to do so in September 2014, almost a year after its launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh.
The Chinese mission now is expected to take off around the same time when NASA is launching its own Mars mission– the ambitious ‘Perseverance’ which aims to collect Martian samples and bring them back.Tianwen-1 Mission
The mission is named after the ancient Chinese poem ‘Questions to Heaven’, the Tianwen-1.
It is an all-in-one orbiter; lander and rover will search the Martian surface for water, ice, investigate soil characteristics, and study the atmosphere, among completing other objectives.
It will carry 13 payloads (seven orbiters and six rovers) that will explore the planet.
It will be the first to place ground-penetrating radar on the Martian surface, which will be able to study local geology, as well as rock, ice, and dirt distribution.
China’s previous ‘Yinghuo-1’ Mars mission, which had piggybacked on a Russian spacecraft, had failed after it could not leave the Earth’s orbit and disintegrated over the Pacific Ocean in 2012.Incorrect
