Xi'an Satellite Control Center
The Xi'an Satellite Monitor and Control Center (Chinese:西安卫星测控中心, XSCC), also known as Base 26, is the primary satellite control facility of the People's Republic of China.[1] The facility was established in Weinan as the "Satellite Survey Department" in 1967, and relocated to Xi'an in 1987.[2][3][4] Today, the XSCC comprises a mission control station in Xi'an and a set of tracking arrays located outside the city on a mountain plateau. The tracking station is equipped with antenna farms, masts, and communications dishes, while the mission control station is equipped with television screens, consoles, plotters, and high-speed computers that allow technicians to trace the orbital paths of all Chinese satellites in orbit.[2]
