Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In March 2025, ISRO developed high-speed indigenous microprocessors Vikram 3201 and Kalpana 3201 for space missions.
Importance of Vikram and Kalpana Microprocessors
These processors, developed under India's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' campaign, will reduce dependence on foreign chips for future satellites and launch vehicles.
Vikram 3201 is named in honor of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space program, while Kalpana 3201 is named in memory of the famous astronaut Kalpana Chawla.
These are high-speed, radiation-hardened microprocessors. They are specifically designed to perform calculations in the harsh conditions of space.
