The launching complex was approved by the State Council and the CPC central military committee in 2007 to launch large non-toxic and pollution-free rockets. It is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2013. This is the fourth launching site in China, along with three sites in Jiuquan, Taiyuan and Xichang. |
