摘要
There are two launch complexes in Xichang Satellite Launch Center. One is the Long March-3 launch complex which is a fixed 77m high launch tower. The other is the Long March- 2E launch complex which is composed of a 98m mobile tower and a 70m fixed tower. The latter is newly constructed, the first use of which was in July, 1990 when the Long March-2E made its maiden demonstration flight. In addition to the LM-2E, the complex (the largest one in China) can also be used to launch even larger Long March boosters to be developed in the future. Technical facilities and equipment of the new complex are described here.
