Xichang Satellite Launch Center Xichang Satellite Launch Center (xslc), also known as "Xichang satellite", was founded in 1970, under the PLA General Armament Department, which is mainly responsible for the launch of satellites in geosynchronous orbit space launch base mission, responsible for communications, broadcasting , meteorological satellite applications such as test launch and launch. Xichang Satellite Launch Center is China's opening up the largest, most technologically advanced alien contract up to launch the task, capable of launching more new models of satellite capacity cosmodrome. Launch Center has test launch, command and control, tracking, communications, meteorology, technical service support systems. Launch site area of two launch stations and technology testing centers, command and control centers and other facilities, to undertake and complete a variety of models of domestic and international satellite launch services. In China's current three satellite launch centers, features more complete, more perfect equipment, the use of cryogenic propellants both launch the "Long March III" series of carrier rocket, carrying capacity and can transmit a large bundle of rockets.

Location
Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Xichang center headquartered in the city about 60 kilometers northwest of Xiushan Lishui, satellite launch site is located 65 kilometers northwest of Xichang City, the largest canyon Liangshan hinterland. Satellite launch test, command and control, tracking, communications, weather, logistics support system, the corresponding six field area, are scattered among different regions in the valley. The subtropical climate, annual average temperature of 16 degrees Celsius throughout the year on the ground soft and moderate wind. This October to next May is the best launch season. Since ancient times, people can often watch the Xichang exceptionally bright bright Earth satellite - the moon has always been legendary, so Xichang to "on the city," the name is known within the four seas. Now, on launch of Sputnik, the service of humanity and the sonic booms Universal. In addition to her own "Moon City", "Little Spring City", "Panxi cornucopia" and "Golden Mile" and other beautiful nature, rich flavor of the name, but has been added to the charm of modern science and technology full name: "China's space city" "East Houston" and so on. The coordinates of the launch site for the 102 degrees east longitude, latitude 28.2 degrees. According to aerospace experts, there has a "natural launching site" of the advantages: First, the low latitude (28.2 degrees north latitude), altitude (1500 meters), the launch angle is good, a short distance to empty, the lower the latitude from the equator closer, this can make full use of the centrifugal force of rotation of the earth, but also shorten the distance from ground to orbit, saving the rocket's payload. The second is a good canyon terrain, geological structure, a solid, the overall layout is conducive to the launch site, launch facilities on the ground, technical equipment and tracking, communications favorable distribution network, to meet the multiple launch site construction. Third, the fine weather, "launch window" is good. The annual average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, is the smallest one of the areas of climate change, as many as 320 days of sunshine, little fog, the test cycle and allow more time for launch. In short Xichang low latitude, high altitude, low clouds, no pollution, air transparency. Therefore, a modern high-tech satellite launch center in Xichang stands on high northern mountains, there is also the only China's space launch base for geostationary satellites.

Launch history
For China's aerospace history and wrote the first three. First, in June 8, 1984 a successful launch of China's first geostationary satellite; second, in 1986 February 1, China's first successful launch of a communications and broadcasting satellite, DFH-II, successful launch of the East Red II, the end of our lease of foreign satellite television history, we now look at television and weather are our own satellite transmission; Three of these satellites are launched successfully with the old bit, so that They launch from here for. Third, the contract in 1990, China successfully launched the satellite business, Asia One, Asia One is the Houston-made, can it at the time known as the "bane", it did not go to the successful launch of five countries, Then come back again with the space shuttle, in 1990 and from April 7, the old Three towers will be launched from here out of it successfully. So it is a meritorious tower. It is mission accomplished. Xichang Satellite Launch Center was founded in 1970, delivered in 1982, since January 1984 launch of China's first communications satellite has been launched 28 foreign satellites. In October 1985, xslc official opening, launch services contract alien, received from 50 countries and regions, technical exchanges, study groups. Advanced and reliable facilities and conditions for the alien to provide a safe and high quality launch service. Since 1984, the Xichang Satellite Launch Center has launched 17 foreign satellites communications satellite, which indicates that China has the world's commercial launch of several important capabilities and technologies to master one of the countries in the world, a place in the field of space city. With the Xichang space city to accelerate the construction of inland open city and the rise of Xichang Xichang Qingshan Airport and the national first-class aviation port _set_ up, the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to the many visitors left a good impression and memories. Since 1984, communication satellite successfully launched its first test since the end of 2003, it has already successfully organized 34 international satellite launch. In 1986, the Xichang satellite launch site officially opened. Launch Center was built in 1983, had since 1984 launched China's first experimental communications satellite, useful and practical communication satellite communications and broadcasting satellite, in turn in 1990, the U.S. created "Asian No. 1" communications satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. In April 2004, "One test satellite" and "Na Star One" in the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the successful launch, the first launch of this center is the sun-synchronous orbit, marking the center's space launch capability has been further improved , can be more than fired, multi-orbit satellites. As of April 2004, the center has a system of two self-launch station, you can launch different types of Long March launch vehicle, both the large tonnage of satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit, it can small satellites into sun-synchronous orbit . At 18:05:04 on October 24, 2007 (utc +8), the China's first lunar satellite - Chang-e One lifted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the "Ben" process takes about 10 --- 12 days. The total weight of the satellite is expected to 2350 kilograms, life greater than one year. The satellite's main exploration objectives are: to obtain three-dimensional images of the lunar surface (expected back in late November, the first three-dimensional images of the lunar surface); analysis of 14 kinds of lunar surface useful elements (k, th, u, o, si, mg, al, ca, fe, na, mn, cr, gd) and material type of content distribution; detect thickness of lunar soil and the earth to the moon's space environment.
