Aerospace bases are undertaken a series of important tasks such as launching satellites, manned spacecraft, and aerospace aircraft. Throughout the world of aerospace, many countries have built their own aerospace bases. Let's take a look at some of the world's famous space bases in the world.
1. Kennedy Space Base: Located on the east coast of Florida, eastern United States. It is the most important place for Aircraft Agreement to test, prepare and implement launch.
Kennedy Aerospace Base is 56 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide. The center includes two major parts: technical positions and launch positions. There are rockets and satellites in technical positions, and spacecraft assembly plants. It is particularly noticeable for the assembly building, with a volume of 3.6 million cubic meters and a height of 160 meters. There are various advanced test instruments and display in the building.
The launch position is built 5 kilometers away, with the launch control center and the launch table. There are 23 launch positions in the entire space center. Among them, the famous 39 launch positions include A and B launch pads. Many large aerospaces fly out of the earth from here.
2. Kuru Aerospace Launch Base: It is located in northern South America. It is currently the only space test place in France and the main place for the European Air Bureau to carry out aerospace activities.
The service tower is 45 meters high, 15.2 meters long, and 12.2 meters wide. It can move back and forth on the launch platform. When working, the carrier rocket is in the service tower. The activity working platform can raise any part of the satellite to provide services for the final preparation of the satellite.
The launch room is about 300 meters away from the service tower, which is a solid ground castle -style building. Its task is to complete preparation before launch and protect the safety of staff during the rocket launch operation. The control room is equipped with equipment to monitor rocket operations.
3. Seed Island Satellite Launch Center: This base is located in the southernmost seed island in Japan, mainly used to launch test satellites and application satellites.
Seed Island Aerospace Center is affiliated with the Japanese Universe Development Corporation and is a Japanese application satellite launch center. It is located at the southeast end of the seed island, and the total area of the space base is about 8.65 square kilometers.
4. Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center: Located in the northern part of Gansu Province, China, it is the main base of various test satellites and application satellites.
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center covers an area of about 2800 square kilometers, 50 kilometers wide, and 300 kilometers long. The terrain here is flat, dry and rainy, and has a good satellite to launch natural environment conditions. There are more than 320 days to meet the launch conditions throughout the year.
