The Semi-Conductor Laboratory Mohali had reason to celebrate as the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) launched its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDex) onboard a PSLV rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on Monday.

The Mohali facility has indigenously designed and fabricated radiation hardened devices, Vikram 3201 and 2Mb SRAM, in the PSLV-CA C60, which carried two small spacecraft-A (SDX01) and Spacecraft B (SDX02), each weighing approximately 220 kg.

The space mission was aimed to demonstrate crucial technologies for India’s future human spaceflight programmes.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
