   Extractions: Fax The Sriharikota Launching Range is developed into the most important center, with test, assembly and launch facilities for large multi-stage rockets and satellite launchers, and tracking, telemetry and tele-command stations for Indian spacecraft. It is situated in the Sriharikota Island, on India's east coast, about 62 miles (100km) north of Madras at 13°47' North and 80°15' East. Sriharikota, is an island in the Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh State, lies along the east of Pulicat Lake and is reached by road from Madras. Prior to its acquisition for ISRO by the Indian Government, its was a firewood plantation of Eucalyptus and Casuarina trees. This island is affected by both south-westerly and north-easterly monsoons, but heavy rains come only in October and November. Thus many clear days are available for out-door static tests and launchings. VSSC - Vikram Sarabhai Space Center Trivandrum's Liquid Propulsion Systems Center (LPSC) operates as a separate entity. TERLS is now a United Nations sponsored station located on the sandy coast of the Arabian Sea. The location of Thumba (8°32'34" N, 76°51'32" E) is ideal for the furtherance of low-altitude, upper-atmosphere and ionosphere studies which are of special importance in the region of the magnetic equator (just north of Thumba). Because of this factor, with the assistance and co-operation of France, the USA and Russia, TERLS has become an international launch site for sounding rockets.

A goal is for Australia to secure a significant share of Asian space business in launches, small satellites and space-based services. However, the Government has yet formally to endorse the launch program. Woomera's advantages include polar orbit access, a sparsely inhabited downrange area, an existing infrastructure and largely cloud-free weather.

   Extractions: Research Partnership Centers Research Partnership Centers, located at academic institutions and funded by NASA, develop industry partners to pursue specific areas of commercial research. The industry partners generate a demand for doing business in space and help fund a portion of the operations and research. The Centers are subject to several types of review and appraisal. One measure used is the interest of industry, which is evaluated by the number of industry partners and funding. Another measure checks progress against previously established milestones. Periodic checks are made by an outside source, such as the National Academy of Public Administration, to provide an independent assessment of the Centers and their performance. Currently, NASA's Space Product Development Program manages 15 Research Partnership Centers. As new areas of commercial interest are identified, new Centers will be established, while other Centers may be disbanded if industry involvement wanes. The current Research Partnership Centers are: BioServe Space Technologies (collocated at Colorado and Kansas ) works with industry to explore commercial space opportunities in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biomedical, and agricultural areas. BioServe provides research support, specialized hardware and access to space flight. Life sciences companies are rapidly developing new products that affect everything from medicine to agribusiness. The work being done at BioServe is opening exciting new horizons for developing products, and ensuring that the full potential of these fields are realized.

   Extractions: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA’s coastal Florida spaceport and other agency centers across the nation reopened Thursday, but it wasn’t exactly business as usual in the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C. Two days after hijacked airliners crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, federal government and contractor employees returned to work amid tight security at the agency’s Washington, D.C., headquarters and 10 field centers around the nation. "We’re all open for business," said NASA spokesman Brian Dunbar. "But certainly security is heightened." More Stories Here at Kennedy Space Center, some 12,000 people faced hour-long traffic jams at perimeter gates to the coastal spaceport, a restricted federal enclave that covers 140,000 acres (56,000 hectares). Cars, trucks and vans were backed up for 1.6 miles (2.5 kilometers) outside the main gate to the space center, which is the homeport to NASA’s $8 billion space shuttle fleet.
