In a social media update, the EDB highlighted Andhra Pradesh's robust space ecosystem, anchored by Sriharikota, which houses the Satish Dhawan Space Centre – India's sole operational spaceport with more than 90 successful launches to date.\n\nThe State of Andhra Pradesh is set to establish two dedicated Space Cities as part of its Space Policy 4.0. The first, located in Tirupati district, will focus on manufacturing, integration, and launch logistics. The second, situated in Sri Sathya Sai district, aims to become a hub for design, development, and research.
