The Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC) is a China space vehicle launch facility (spaceport) approximately 64 km northwest of Xichang, in Sichuan, China.
The facility became operational in 1984 and is primarily used to launch powerful thrust rockets and geostationary communications and weather satellites. It is notable as the site of Sino-European space cooperation, with the launch of the first of two Double Star scientific satellites in December 2003.
