The Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft was launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China.
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, located in the northwest of Dunhuang City, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, China, is the earliest and largest satellite launch center in China. It is not only the main launch site of China's manned space program, but also the launch site of China's lunar exploration program.
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is strategically located at 40 degrees north latitude and 95 degrees east longitude, making it one of the most suitable locations in the world to launch geosynchronous orbit satellites. In addition, its vast surrounding area, sparsely populated area, and high security make it ideal for space launch activities.
Since its establishment in 1970, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center has successfully launched a number of satellites and spacecraft, including Dongfanghong-1, Shenzhou series manned spacecraft, Chang'e series of lunar probes, etc., making significant contributions to China's space industry.
During the launch of the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center played a key role. First of all, the staff of the launch center carried out strict inspection and maintenance of the spacecraft to ensure the normal operation of the spacecraft's various systems. Secondly, the control personnel of the launch center accurately calculated and set the launch orbit and time of the spacecraft to ensure that the spacecraft could accurately enter the predetermined orbit. Finally, the monitoring equipment of the launch center monitored the entire launch process of the spacecraft to ensure the safety and success of the launch.
Overall, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is an important base for China's space industry and played a key role in the successful launch of the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft.
Kudos to the scientific research workers working on the front line, you have worked hard.
