Kulasekarapattinam spaceport will launch rockets in two years

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to complete its second launch complex at Kulasekarapattinam in two years. This facility will launch small satellites weighing up to 500 kg and is being built at a cost of 950 crore. Currently, ISRO has two launch pads at Sriharikota and will soon add a third. The Kulasekarapattinam site will enhance India's launch capabilities. In addition, ISRO will launch the NISAR satellite in two months and test two experiments for the Gaganyaan mission this year. A new research center at IIT Madras will focus on thermal science for future space missions.
