Indias space port Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in southern Indian state Andhra Pradesh will soon become a hub for assembling satellites and rockets, according to Press Trust of India (PTI).
The countrys space agency Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is drawing up plans to develop the center for assembling satellites and rockets in near future as part of its expansion plans.
Our vision is a quantum jump in satellites and launch vehicles to be dealt with in coming years. The space port at Sriharikota would be further developed into an area where space-industries in India would come together, assemble satellites and rockets and move them to the launch pad, ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan said.
Radhakrishnan, who was participating in the inaugural function of Oceansat-2 ground station here, said ISRO would work with the state government in putting together the space port development.
ISRO and Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (Incois) here were working together in the area of environment and climate monitoring.
The Megha-tropiques satellite that we will launch next month will give a lot of input on study of climate while another satellite Saral that will be launched subsequently will provide ocean altimeter data, the ISRO chief added.
