With the successful launch mission of the No. 1 station, the launch capability of the entire system of my country's first commercial space launch site has also been fully verified. So, what conditions should be met as a suitable launch station for the Long March 8 launch vehicle?

The launch station No. 1 of Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site is 83 meters high, which is nearly thirty stories high. It adopts a modular steel structure design, which can also save construction costs and later maintenance costs while ensuring the safe launch of the rocket.

In order to meet high-density launch missions, Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site also adopts an improved "three-sided" launch measurement mode. The rocket is disassembled into three pieces, each piece is transported vertically to the launch tower by a transfer truck, and then assembled by a crane one by one. After the rocket arrives at the launch tower, it can be "launched in 7 days and recovered in 7 days", laying a solid foundation for achieving low-cost and high-efficiency launch.
