Regarding the 'Samudrayaan Mission' and the 'MATSYA 6000' submersible featured in indigenous science and technology developments, consider the following statements:

1. It is India's flagship manned deep-ocean exploration initiative implemented by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
2. The main pressure hull of MATSYA 6000 is fabricated using high-strength titanium alloy designed to transport a crew of three to a depth of 6,000 meters.
3. The submersible is powered by a miniaturized onboard nuclear reactor that grants continuous operational endurance of up to 30 days under seabed conditions.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  1. 1 and 2 onlyCevap
  2. B
    2 and 3 only
  3. C
    1 and 3 only
  4. D
    1, 2 and 3

Cevap

Statements 1 and 2 only are correct.
The option selecting statements 1 and 2 only is correct. India's Samudrayaan mission is being carried out by NIOT under the Ministry of Earth Sciences. Its primary vehicle, MATSYA 6000, features a 2.1-meter diameter titanium alloy personal sphere built to safely transport three researchers to 6,000 meters depth. The vehicle relies on battery power providing up to 12 hours of routine operating endurance, alongside 96 hours of emergency life support systems, making statement 3 false.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding institutional setup and objectives of the Samudrayaan Mission.
Statement 1 is CORRECT. Samudrayaan is a Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) initiative, with the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), Chennai, serving as the lead nodal laboratory designing the MATSYA 6000 submersible.
Verifying administrative and institutional stewardship of major national S&T initiatives.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding structural materials, crew capacity, and operational depth.
Statement 2 is CORRECT. The human cabin is an 80-mm thick titanium alloy sphere designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure of nearly 600 bar at a depth of 6,000 meters with a 3-member crew.
Confirming technical specs of deep-sea pressure hulls.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding power supply and operational endurance.
Statement 3 is INCORRECT. MATSYA 6000 runs on rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs providing 12 hours of normal operation and 96 hours of emergency endurance, not nuclear power.
Distinguishing battery-electric deep-sea submersibles from nuclear-powered submarines.
