Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), rocket launch pad
The Second Launch Pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre is a rocket launch site in Sriharikota, India. It is the second of two launch pads at the centre, the other being the First Launch Pad. It is used by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicles and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicles, and is intended for use with future Indian rockets including the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk.III
The Second Launch Pad uses an integrate, transfer and launch system, whereby the rocket is assembled in a separate assembly building, and then rolled vertically to the launch pad. The first launch from the pad occurred on 5 May 2005, and was of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle carrying the CARTOSAT-1 and HAMSAT satellites. As of 2010, five PSLVs and three GSLVs have been launched from the complex. The most recent launch was of a GSLV-D3 on 15 April 2010.
