While Thiruvananthapuram does have the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), which is a part of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), it is not the location of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

Option 4, Thumba, is also not the correct answer. Thumba is a small village in Kerala. It is home to the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS), which is another facility of ISRO but not the location of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
