北京航天飞行控制中心

The Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center (BACC), now known as Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center, serves as the mission control for China's space program, including human spaceflight and lunar exploration. Subordinated to the People's Liberation Army's Aerospace Force, BACC oversees both military and civilian launches, providing supervision, telemetry, tracking, and command of spacecraft. It manages China's space stations and has supported missions like Shenzhou and Chang'e. The center is a vital hub for command and dispatch, analysis, flight control, data processing, and information exchange within the Chinese space industry.
