- The Kulasekarapattinam spaceport will be ready in two years to launch small satellites.
- This upcoming facility would have the capacity to launch 24 satellites per year.
- When a satellite is launched into space from ISRO’s Sriharikota facility, the rocket first heads east, and then turn south.
- But the satellite launch from Kulasekaranpattinam spaceport doesn’t have to take this diversion and the rockets can now head straight in the southern direction.
- Also, Kulasekaranpattinam is closer to the equator than Sriharikota.
- SSLVs can be used to launch satellites that weigh less than 500 kg into the lower earth orbit.
