China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center conducted an emergency training in the first days of the New Year in an effort to prepare itself for more launch missions in 2019.

Shortly after it successfully sent Yunhai-2 satellites into orbit on December 29, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China started new trainings.

In a simulated emergency where a fuel leakage was detected just before a satellite launch mission, the technicians on the ground were immediately organized to deal with the incident. The training followed the real launch mission procedures, which usually included preparations, emergency response and test launch.

"Our training is about an emergency response to a simulated fuel leakage, which is the most dangerous incident before a launch mission, and needs to be addressed immediately and quickly. We keep training in very details to ensure a timely response in case of an incident," said Li Zhendong, operator of the fueling team of the rocket launch branch.

The center has proposed a new training mode based on launch missions in 2018. It says 2019 will also see frequent trainings on a regular basis to guarantee the success of every launch mission.

"We are comprehensively implementing our training plan outlines and improving the coordination between a major training and a launch mission. According to the rigid requirements, we'll realize integration of planning, implementation, evaluation, management and review of both trainings and launch missions step by step," said Wu Hua, director of the planning office of the launch and test station with the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
