The Wenchang Space Science and Technology Center is located in Longlou Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province, China. It is China’s coastal Wenchang Space Science and Technology Center launch base and one of the few low-latitude launch sites in the world. This launch center is capable of launching the Long March 5 series rockets and Long March 7 carrier rockets, primarily responsible for the launch of geostationary orbit satellites, high-mass polar orbit satellites, large-tonnage space stations, and deep space exploration satellites.
As a low-latitude coastal launch base, Wenchang Space Launch Site not only meets the new needs of China’s space development but also leverages the greater linear velocity near the equator and the centrifugal effect brought about by inertia, which significantly reduces rocket fuel consumption (the payload capacity of the same model rocket can be increased by 10%). It also addresses the transportation challenges of giant rockets through maritime transport and enhances the safety of debris fall. Open all year round from 08:00 to 17:30.
