Detailed explanation-1: -The new spaceport at Kulasekarapattinam will offer some advantages over the existing and only spaceport in India at Sriharikota. Rockets flying into polar orbit from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh need to perform a turn-manoeuvre to avoid flying over Sri Lanka.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once completed, Kulasekarapattinam will be the country’s second spaceport after Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthapuram (Thumba), Kerala, Satish Dhawan Space Centre (Sriharikota) located in Andhra Pradesh, and Dr Abdul Kalam Island, which is located in Odisha, are the three rocket launching sites.
