The SLV Launch Pad or the Sriharikota SLV of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre is a rocket launch site in Sriharikota, India that began operation in 1979 and was decommissioned in 1994. It was used by two launch vehicles of the ISRO: the Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) and the Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV).[1] Initially it was built for launching SLV-3s but was later also used as an ASLV launch complex.[2] The first launch from this pad occurred on 10 August 1979, and was that of the first experimental flight of SLV-3 carrying the Rohini Technology Payload satellite. The last flight was of ASLV on 4 May 1994 carrying SROSS-C2.[1]
