Centre became operational in October 1971 when on October 9 and October 10 three Rohini rockets were launched. The SHAR facility now consists of two launch pads, with the second one being recently built. The second launch pad was used for launches beginning in 2005 and is a universal launch pad, accommodating all of the launch vehicles used by ISRO . The two launch pads will allow for multiple launches in the year, which was not possible earlier. India's lunar orbiter Chandrayaan 1 will be launched from this launch location in 2007 - 2008 .
