ISRO's new-second launch pad to be ready in Tamil Nadu: huge fuel savings


- Small satellites and small rockets will be launched from the new launch pad

- From the new launch pad at Kulsekarpattinam, the satellite will go directly towards the South Pole in a southerly direction instead of passing through Sri Lanka.

Bengaluru/Mumbai: The second launch pad of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will be prepared near three villages namely Padukkapathu, Pallakurichi, Mathavankurichi in Tamil Nadu. These three villages belong to Kulasekharapattinam taluka of Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu. The new launch pad will be built on a vast area of ​​2,300 acres.

ISRO Chairman Sridhar Pannikar Somnath has given this information.

S. Somnath, however, also clarified that the intention of preparing the second launch pad of ISRO at Kulasekhar Pattinam in Tamil Nadu is not to close the existing Sriharikota launch pad and move it there. ISRO will use both the launch pads at Sriharikota's Anekulsekar Pattinam and the new one.

The current Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) at Sriharikota is located in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.

S. Somnath has also informed that the main and important purpose of setting up the second launch pad at Kulsekarpattinam in Tamil Nadu is to build an alternative space station to launch small satellites and small rockets. Small satellite launch vehicles will be launched from this new launch pad.

Also, creating this second new launch pad will actually give India a lot of geographical advantages. At the same time, fuel (fuel used in rockets) will also be saved massively. For example, the satellites launched from the new launch pad at Kulsekarpattinam will go straight south. At present, the satellites launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota will not have to pass over Sri Lankan skies. So it travels in the South-East (Agni) and then travels further in the sky. Thus the satellite launched from the new launch pad at Kulsekar Pattinam will not have to increase its orbit. As a result, the satellite will go directly towards the South Pole of the Earth.

Also, now that the Indian government has welcomed private companies in the space research sector, talented scientists and engineers who make small-sized satellites and small-sized rockets will also get a lot of encouragement. Finally, India's space research sector will grow. The country will get a gift of new scientists and engineers.

The important point is that ISRO has also acquired 2,300 acres of land in the three villages of Padukkapathu, Pallakurichi, Mathavankurichi. Along with this, the Tamil Nadu government has also completed the process of acquiring 2,200 acres of the 2,300 acres by allocating Rs. 950 crores. is
