LAUNCH SITE
A launch site, also known as a spaceport or launch complex, is a specialised facility equipped with the infrastructure and resources required to prepare, test, and launch rockets and spacecraft into space. These sites are strategically designed to support the entire process of readying a launch vehicle and its payload for liftoff, ensuring the safety and success of space missions.
