Ethereal Exploration Guild opens 150-acre rocket test site in Andhra Pradesh
Ethereal Exploration Guild has unveiled a 150-acre rocket testing and manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh, approximately 40 km from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Named "The Anchorage," the site consolidates engine testing, stage qualification, and refurbishment for the company’s Razor Crest Mk 1 launch vehicle program.
The facility’s location near Sriharikota could offer logistical advantages for launch-related activities. The project reflects broader industry trends, including private investment in space infrastructure, though funding sources remain undisclosed.
Recent developments, such as Canada Rocket Co’s engine test site in London, suggest growing interest in dedicated launch facilities. Whether The Anchorage will attract domestic or international customers remains to be seen.
The company has not shared details about customer agreements or timelines for the Razor Crest Mk 1. The facility’s design may indicate an intent to support reusable rocket operations, though its capabilities have yet to be demonstrated.
