Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center

CN

太原卫星发射中心

The Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center (TSLC), also known as Base 25, is a Chinese spaceport and defense launch facility. Operational since 1968, it primarily launches meteorological, Earth resource, and scientific satellites into Sun-synchronous orbits using Long March launch vehicles. TSLC also supports launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Key partners and customers include the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) and other entities within the Chinese space program.
