The facility is also used by Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and National Defence Complex for testing solid-fueled ballistic missiles.[1] HistoryIn the 1990s, the facility was expanded and modernized to include rocket launchers; a rocket assembly and a maintenance workshop; a payload assembly area; high-speed tracking radars with a control room and telemetry station; flight communications equipment and optical cameras. It is currently spread across {{convert|200|ha}} and located approximately {{convert|50|km}} west of Karachi.[1] The facility has been used to host test flights of multiple missiles, including four tests of Hatf-II, two of Hatf-III, seven of Hatf-IV and five of Hatf-VI. It is also collaboratively used by NASA and SUPARCO as a launch site for sounding rockets.[1] See also
