Launch Pad & Location
201
Wenchang Space Launch Site, People's Republic of China
The 201 launch pad has hosted 30 rocket launches, including 30 orbital launch attempts. The Wenchang Space Launch Site, People's Republic of China launch site has been the location for 62 total rocket launches.
The Wenchang Space Launch Site is a rocket launch site located in Wenchang on the island of Hainan, in China.
Formally a suborbital test center, it currently serves as China's southernmost spaceport. The site was selected for its low latitude, 19° north of the equator, allowing for larger payloads to be launched. It is capable of launching the Long March 5, the heaviest Chinese rocket. Unlike launch facilities on the mainland, Wenchang uses its seaport for deliveries.
