（五）航天发射场

　　2016年6月，文昌航天发射场首次执行航天发射任务，标志着中国自主设计建造、绿色生态环保、技术创新跨越的新一代航天发射场正式投入使用。开展酒泉、太原、西昌三个发射场适应性改造，基本形成沿海内陆相结合、高低纬度相结合、各种射向范围相结合的航天发射场布局，能够满足载人飞船、空间站核心舱、深空探测器以及各类卫星的发射需求。

　　（六）航天测控

5. Space launch sites

In June 2016 the Wenchang Launch Site held its first launch, marking a new-generation launch site designed and built by China. The site is environmentally friendly and made breakthroughs in innovation. Renovations have also been accomplished in the Jiuquan, Taiyuan and Xichang launch sites, forming a launch site network covering both coastal and inland areas, high and low altitudes, and various trajectories to satisfy the launch needs of manned spaceships, space laboratory core modules, deep space probes and all kinds of satellites.

6. Space Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C)

　　“天链一号”数据中继卫星系列实现全球组网运行，“远望七号”航天远洋测量船成功首航，深空测控站建成使用，中国航天测控布局不断优化，形成陆海天基一体、功能多样、规模适度的航天测控网，航天器飞行控制综合能力不断提升，圆满完成“神舟”系列飞船、“天宫一号”目标飞行器、“嫦娥”系列月球探测器以及地球轨道卫星等为代表的各项航天测控任务。

　　（七）空间应用

　　1.对地观测卫星应用。对地观测卫星地面系统和应用体系不断完善，应用领域深化拓展，应用水平日益提升，应用效益持续提高。陆地、海洋、大气卫星数据地面接收站基本实现统筹建设与运行，形成高低轨道相结合、国内外合理布局的卫星数据地面接收能力；统筹建设地面数据处理系统、共性应用支撑平台、多层次网络相结合的数据分发体系，数据处理、存档、分发、服务和定量化应用能力大幅提升。行业应用系统建设全面推进，基本建成18个行业和2个区域应用示范系统，设立26个省级数据与应用中心。建立高分辨率对地观测系统应用综合信息服务共享平台，对地观测卫星数据已广泛应用于行业、区域、公众服务等领域，为经济社会发展提供重要支撑。

The Tianlian-1 data relay satellite series have achieved global networking and operating. The Yuanwang-7, a spacecraft tracking ship has made its maiden voyage. Deep space TT&C stations have been built and put into use. China is constantly improving its space telemetry, tracking and command setups, and established a multi-functioning TT&C network featuring space, marine and ground integration with a proper scale. The flight control ability of spacecraft has been gradually improved, completing the TT&C missions of the Shenzhou spacecraft series, Tiangong-1 target spacecraft, Chang'e lunar probe series and earth orbit satellites.

7. Space applications

(1) Application of earth observation satellites. The ground system and applications of earth observation satellites are improving, the fields and levels in which these satellites are used are expanding and the application benefits are growing. The ground stations receiving data from land, ocean and meteorological observation satellites are operating based on comprehensive planning, a satellite data ground network with the capacity of receiving data from high- and low-orbit satellites and reasonable arrangement at home and abroad. China has also established, based on comprehensive planning, a ground data processing system for earth observation satellites, common application supporting platform, and multi-level network data distribution system, greatly increasing its ability in data processing, archiving, distribution, services provision and quantitative applications. Industrial application system building is in full swing, having completed 18 industrial and two regional application demonstration systems, and set up 26 provincial-level data and application centers. An integrated information service sharing platform for a high-resolution earth observation system has been built. Earth observation satellite data is now widely used in industrial, regional and public services for economic and social development.
