The Wenchang Space Launch Centre (WSLC) is China’s fourth and newest portal to space, capable of supporting the next-generation CZ-5 and CZ-7 launch vehicles. Becoming operational in 2016, the spaceport will be the primary launch site for all of China’s key space projects over the next few decades, including the construction of a permanently-manned space station on Low Earth Orbit (LEO), unmanned probing missions to the Moon and Mars, and potentially crewed lunar missions.
