It is known as the “Oriental Houston (东方休斯顿)”. Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center was founded in 1967. The center has launched China’s first weather satellite “Fengyun-1”, making nine firsts in the history of China’s satellite launches. Wenchang Space Launch Center (founded in 2009) is now the fourth satellite launch center of China.
