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