Correct Answer :   982°C

* NASA's Parker Solar Probe set a historic record by flying closer to the Sun than any other man-made object, withstanding temperatures up to 982°C.

* This is a remarkable achievement, demonstrating the probe's advanced heat shield technology.

* The Parker Solar Probe's mission aims to explore the Sun's corona, investigate solar winds, and understand the Sun's energy flow.

Correct Answer :   India

* India is making significant strides in the field of quantum communications through its National Quantum Mission (NQM).

* As part of this mission, India aims to launch a quantum satellite in the next 2-3 years, which will use quantum physics to secure communication signals, making them resistant to interception.

* This initiative will position India at the forefront of next-generation technology in secure communication.

* Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), an essential component of this satellite, ensures "unconditional security" by detecting any eavesdropping attempts.

* India’s advancements in quantum research are paving the way for the future of secure global communication.

Correct Answer :   Telecom infrastructure

* The TTDF-funded project awarded to Amantya Technologies focuses on developing a carrier-grade 5G SA Core compliant with 3GPP Release 16/17 standards.

* It supports features like network slicing, Quality of Service (QoS), Voice over New Radio (VoNR), and massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC).

* This initiative is part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission to enhance India's telecom infrastructure and foster self-reliance in cutting-edge technologies.
