Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, also known as the 25th Experimental Training Base, is located in kelan county, 200km southwest of Taiyuan, and belongs to the strategic support force. It is one of the launch test bases for experimental satellites, applied satellites and launch vehicles in China. At the same time, he is responsible for launching maritime satellites in China.
Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center 1967 65438+ was established on1October 22nd. After 56 years of construction, the center has built a modern launch site with multi-function and multi-launch modes, which integrates command and control, measurement and control communication and comprehensive support system. The comprehensive space launch capability has achieved a leap from one launch mission per year to more than ten high-density rocket and satellite launch missions per year.
