🚀 Hey space enthusiasts! Did you know that April 24 is China's Space Day? 🌌 It's a day that celebrates a monumental moment from 1970 when the country's first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, soared into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China.
With a history spanning over six decades, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is a cornerstone of China's space exploration! 🛰️ It boasts two veteran launch towers — Complex 5020 and 138. Built in 1966 and 1971, these towers have been the starting point for an impressive 44 missions since their debut! 🌠
As we celebrate China's Space Day, let's tip our hats to the incredible journey of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It's not just about rockets and satellites; it's about the spirit of exploration and the quest for the stars that unites us all. 🌟
