 | This article needs attention from an expert in Spaceflight. The specific problem is: The article title is "Imam Khomeini Spaceport", but it is described as part of the Semnan Space Center, which says it is a spaceport itself. It seems a launch complex is meant/described. But launch complex is a redirect to launch pad, which is used both for a part of a launch complex and the launch complex as a whole. Overall terminology seems to be not very well defined. By comparison Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is a member of Template:Spaceport, same as Semnan Space Center.. (July 2020) |
