ISRO’s Sriharikota launch pad to get enhanced this year end

The satellite launch capability of ISRO will soon get a boost as the country's solitary launchpad centre at Sriharikota-based Satish Dhawan Space Centre will get a second vehicle assembly building by the end of this year. The new facility will also help assemble the launch vehicles in parallel, thus bringing it to the existing two launchpads. Also, more vehicles could be assembled with this new center.
