Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, August 31 (Xinhua) the Wenchang Space launch site in Hainan is the home port for the construction of the Chinese space station and one of the most advanced space launch sites in the world.

According to CCTV, the Wenchang Space launch site is currently planning to build a new generation of manned lunar rocket launch stations, where manned lunar landings will set sail.

According to Liao Guorui, an engineer at the Wenchang space launch site, since its completion, the Wenchang space launch site has successively achieved technological breakthroughs such as large flow filling of cryogenic propellants and parallel test and launch of large and medium-sized cryogenic liquid rockets.

He said that among China's four major space launch sites, the Wenchang launch site has three major advantages: low latitude, good security and convenient transportation. It is precisely because of these unique advantages that the Wenchang launch site has become the only place where our country can carry out heavy rocket launch missions.

CTOnews.com Note: lower latitudes mean more use of the linear velocity generated by the Earth's rotation, which means that the higher the initial velocity of the spacecraft at launch, the less energy is required. To put it simply, low latitude can save more fuel, thus reducing launch costs and significantly increasing the carrying capacity of rockets and the life of satellites.

High security is easy to understand, because the vicinity of the Wenchang launch site is relatively empty, the rocket is fired into the vast sea within 1000 kilometers, and the firing range covers 90,185 degrees, which can meet the launch needs of spacecraft in different orbits.

Transportation involves two major aspects: first, the cost of sea transportation is obviously lower than that of land transportation, and secondly, the size of sea transportation can also be free from the restriction of railway transport diameter, so as to better meet the entry needs of all kinds of large rockets.

Liao Guorui said: the Wenchang Space launch site will also carry out the construction of a new generation of manned rocket launch sites and heavy rocket launch sites to provide strong support for China's manned lunar landing, deep space exploration and planetary exploration. We will make every effort to build a world-class space launch site, so that the Chinese people can explore space more steadily and further.
