Launch Site
A "Launch Site" is a designated location where rockets or spacecraft are launched into space. These sites are equipped with the necessary infrastructure, such as launch pads, control centers, and fueling stations, to support the complex operations involved in space missions.
Launch sites can be found around the world, often near the equator to take advantage of the Earth's rotation. Notable examples include Cape Canaveral in Florida and Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The choice of location is crucial for safety, accessibility, and optimal trajectory for the spacecraft.
