Wenchang Aerospace Science CenterLocated in Longlou Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province, China, it is the launch base of China's coastal Wenchang Space Science and Technology Center and one of the few low-latitude launch sites in the world. The launch center can launch the Long March 5 series rockets and the Long March 7 carrier rocket, and is mainly responsible for launching spacecraft such as geosynchronous orbit satellites, large-mass polar orbit satellites, large-tonnage space stations and deep space exploration satellites. As a low-latitude coastal launch base, the Wenchang Space Launch Site can not only meet the new needs of China's aerospace development, but also greatly reduce rocket fuel consumption (the same type of rocket can increase its carrying capacity by 10%) with the help of the larger linear speed close to the equator and the centrifugal phenomenon caused by inertia, and can also solve the transportation problem of giant rockets through sea transportation and improve the safety of the falling wreckage.
