Chinese Space Facilities

Presently, the PRC operates three widely separated space launch centers to meet the needs of the entire CZ family of vehicles. Since these facilities are not located on the coast of China, each site is limited in the launch azimuths permitted which has led to separate centers for typical LEO, sun-synchronous, and GEO missions.
