Answer: True
CO₂ + 4H₂ → CH₄ + 2H₂O recovers water from crew-exhaled CO₂; implemented on ISS and planned for Mars ISRU propellant production.
Answer: True
ECs match terrestrial O/Ti/Cr/Ni isotopes suggesting formation in same inner solar system reservoir; supports enstatite chondrite model for Earth's building blocks.
Answer: True
Internal/external occulters suppress stellar glare by factors >10⁶; essential for direct exoplanet imaging (JWST NIRCam/MIRI, future HabEx/LUVOIR).
Answer: True
Micius (China) demonstrated satellite-ground QKD in 2017; quantum no-cloning theorem ensures eavesdropping detection enabling secure key exchange.
Answer: True
Inside Roche limit (~2.44 planetary radii for fluid bodies), self-gravity cannot overcome tidal stress; explains ring locations inside this boundary.
Answer: True
BBN synthesized ~75% H, ~25% He-4, ppm D/He-3/Li-7; heavier elements formed later in stars/supernovae. Observed abundances validate standard cosmology.
Answer: True
Li-ion offers 2-3× energy density vs legacy chemistries, reducing battery mass/volume; qualified for GEO/LEO missions since 2000s.
Answer: True
Orbital resonances maintain eccentricities causing periodic tidal deformation; dissipated energy powers Io's volcanism and Enceladus's cryovolcanism.
Answer: True
Transition-edge sensor bolometers operate at cryogenic temps for far-IR/submm astronomy; used in Herschel/SOFIA/CMB experiments.
Answer: True
ClearSpace-1 (ESA, launch 2026) will demonstrate four-arm capture of Vespa adapter; commercial ADR services emerging to mitigate Kessler syndrome risk.
Answer: True
CAIs in chondrites define solar system age via U-Pb dating; formed at high temperatures near proto-Sun before accretion into planetesimals.
Answer: True
Λ in Einstein's equations corresponds to constant energy density of empty space; observational evidence favors ΛCDM model with Ω_Λ≈0.7.
Answer: True
Onboard processing allows direct user-to-user routing, reducing latency and ground dependency; featured in advanced military/commercial satellites.
Answer: True
Pluto completes 2 orbits per 3 Neptune orbits; resonance ensures conjunction occurs when Pluto is near aphelion far from Neptune's orbital plane.
Answer: True
White dwarfs radiate stored thermal energy without fusion; cooling timescales exceed current universe age, so no black dwarfs exist yet theoretically predicted.
Answer: True
Heat pipes use phase-change fluid wicking through porous structure to transport heat from hot to cold zones; essential for spacecraft thermal management.
Answer: True
MESSENGER confirmed Mercury's dipole field (~300 nT at equator), generated by dynamo in partially molten outer core; unexpected given slow 59-day rotation.
Answer: True
Digital/analog sun sensors determine sun vector relative to spacecraft body, enabling initial acquisition and safe-mode stabilization before fine pointing with star trackers.
Answer: True
Blazar emission is Doppler-boosted due to relativistic jet alignment with line-of-sight, causing rapid variability and high-energy dominance.
Answer: True
Ceres resides in main asteroid belt between Mars/Jupiter; all other recognized dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake) are trans-Neptunian.
