Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The International Space Station (ISS) is a huge science laboratory that orbits Earth every 92 minutes. Experiments on board the ISS can help scientists learn-
A
why Earth rotates on its axis every day.
B
what substances are found in moon dust.
C
when the first green plants appeared on Earth.
D
how to solve problems of living in space.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For 16 years, the station has provided researchers a platform in microgravity where they perform experiments and test technologies to allow humans to travel farther into the solar system than ever before.

Detailed explanation-2: -Throughout the more than 20 years of the ISS program researchers aboard the ISS and on the ground have examined aerosols, ozone, water vapor, and oxides in Earth’s atmosphere, as well as the Sun, cosmic rays, cosmic dust, antimatter, and dark matter in the universe.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capillary Flow Experiments (CFE) aboard the space station study the movement of a liquid along surfaces, similar to the way fluid wicks along a paper towel. These investigations produce space-based models that describe fluid behavior in microgravity, which has led to a new medical testing device on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Space exploration allows us to prove or disprove scientific theories developed on Earth. Studying the solar system, for example, has brought us insights into such phenomena as gravity, the magnetosphere, the atmosphere, fluid dynamics and the geological evolution of other planets.

Detailed explanation-5: -It will help in Deep space exploration like the study of other galaxies. The indigenous Space station would enhance India’s image in the international sphere. It would increaseIndia’s position as a space power. India can earn revenue from the commercial engagements with other countries from its space prowess.

Detailed explanation-6: -Microbial Observatory-1 monitored the microbes present on the space station, identifying hundreds of microbial species. ISS Medical Monitoring regularly collects crew member health data that measures spaceflight’s effects on the human body. More items •27-Jan-2023
