The Wenchang Satellite Launch Center is a major space launch facility located on Hainan Island in China. It was officially opened in 2016 and is designed to support the launch of various satellites into orbit. The center is strategically positioned near the equator, which allows for more efficient launches due to the Earth's rotation. Wenchang is equipped with advanced launch pads and facilities, enabling the use of different types of rockets, including the Long March 5 series. This center plays a crucial role in China's space exploration efforts, contributing to missions such as the Tiangong space station and various satellite deployments.
