Question

1. The Starberry-Sense star sensor is designed only for astronomy missions.
2. The Starberry-Sense star sensor uses a Raspberry Pi as its brain.
3. The Starberry-Sense star sensor costs less than 10% of other similar sensors available in the market.
4. The Starberry-Sense star sensor cannot be used in CubeSat class satellite missions.

How many statements given above are correct?

 

(a) Only one statement

(b) Only two statements

(c) Only three statements

(d) All four statements

Answer 1

Answer: (b) Only two statements

 

Explanation: The article states that the Starberry-Sense star sensor can be used for small CubeSat class satellite missions, not just for astronomy missions. It also mentions that the Starberry-Sense star sensor uses a Raspberry Pi as its brain and costs less than 10% of other similar sensors available in the market. However, it does not state that the sensor cannot be used in CubeSat class satellite missions. Therefore, statements 1 and 4 are incorrect. Only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
