The Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre (TSLC), which became operational in the late 1960s, is China’s primary ballistic missile test centre and also serves as an orbital launch facility for satellite missions to Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) using the CZ-2C/D, CZ-4B/C, and CZ-6 launch vehicles. The centre is known as the 25th Test and Training Base (or Base 25) in its military designator, and has been referred to by the U.S military and intelligence as “Wuzhai Missile and Space Centre”.
