Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Pathfinder. Pathfinder is India’s first orbital data centre satellite designed for space-based computing. The satellite is being developed jointly by Pixxel and Sarvam AI. Pathfinder will process Artificial Intelligence workloads directly in space. It will carry high-performance computing systems and AI-powered processors into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The mission uses the concept of edge computing in space for onboard data processing. Edge computing reduces dependence on transmitting large volumes of raw satellite data to Earth. Pathfinder aims to improve processing speed, reduce bandwidth use, and enhance satellite efficiency. The mission combines Artificial Intelligence, satellite imaging, and space-based computing technologies. Key applications include crop monitoring, climate analysis, weather forecasting, infrastructure mapping, and disaster management. The mission supports India’s technological self-reliance and reduces dependence on foreign cloud infrastructure.
