Sriharikota, February 13

ISRO is all set to launch its PSLV-C52 rocket from Sriharikota in Andhra Pardesh at 5.59 am on Monday.

It carries radar imaging satellite RISAT-1A renamed as Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-04).

It will carry two small co-passenger satellites — student satellite and technology demonstrator satellite.

The entire satellite launch mission will be over in 18.78 minutes; this will be the 54th flight of PSLV.

How it will benefit

The EOS-04 is designed to provide high-quality images under all weather conditions for applications such as agriculture, forestry and plantations, soil moisture and hydrology, and flood mapping.

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).
