A rocket used to launch a satellite into space is also called a launch vehicle. The rocket is pushed towards the sky with a sharp velocity. This requires tremendous strength and a large amount of fuel. The famous Shri Harikota launching station of India is located on an island in the Bay of Bengal.
The choice of rocket launch site has to be made carefully. Earth
Orbits from west to east. A man standing above the equator
The earth rotates at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
This momentum of the earth is useful in launching a rocket. If a rocket is launched from the equator, it automatically achieves a natural speed of 150 kilometers per hour, so the need for fuel is less. If the launching station is close to the equator, it is not only more convenient but also excellent. Each country places its rocket launch site on the east coast of the country. The rocket travels from west to east in a diagonal direction, causing an accident and crashing into the sea. In addition, the launch site is kept away from the population for safety. Sriharikota in India is considered to be the most convenient launching point in all these matters. Many countries find locations near the equator and set up launches in other countries.
