Wheeler Island is the missile test facility for the AGNI (Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM).

The test facility consists of a launch pad, missile assembly/checkout buildings, and several administrative, and support buildings. Missile airframes are transported from the pier to the launch pad by a 2.3 kilometer long rail line, that connects the missile assembly buildings.

The launch pad is the bright white spot inland in the SE corner of the island. The bright white spot at the west end is a helo pad.
