Launch Pad

A launch pad is a specialized platform from which rockets or spacecraft are launched into space. It provides the necessary infrastructure, such as fueling systems, communication links, and support equipment, to prepare the vehicle for launch. The pad is designed to withstand the intense forces and heat generated during ignition and lift-off. Located at space centers or launch sites, it allows engineers to safely assemble and ready rockets while ensuring all systems are functioning correctly before sending a spacecraft on its mission beyond Earth.
