Launch Sites
Launch sites are designated locations where rockets and spacecraft are launched into space. These sites are carefully chosen based on factors like safety, accessibility, and proximity to the equator, which can enhance launch efficiency. Examples of well-known launch sites include Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Each launch site is equipped with specialized facilities, such as launch pads, control centers, and fueling stations. These facilities ensure that all necessary preparations are made before a launch, including vehicle assembly and testing. Launch sites play a crucial role in space exploration and satellite deployment.
