Space Launch Platforms
Space launch platforms are specialized structures designed to support the launch of rockets and spacecraft. These platforms provide a stable base for the vehicle during pre-launch preparations and help facilitate the fueling and maintenance processes. They can be found on land or at sea, with some platforms being mobile to accommodate different launch sites.
There are various types of launch platforms, including fixed launch pads and mobile launch platforms. Fixed launch pads are permanent structures, while mobile platforms can be transported to different locations. Both types are equipped with necessary systems for communication, power, and safety to ensure successful launches of vehicles like satellites and crewed spacecraft.
