China Ship Scientific Research Center
The China Ship Scientific Research Center (Chinese: 中国船舶科学研究中心), also referred to as the 702 Research Institute (Chinese: 702研究所), is a research facility associated with the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), situated in the Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China.[1]
History
Established in 1951 in the Huangpu River in Shanghai, the 702 Institute was initially referred to as the China Shipbuilding Research Center. In 1965, the headquarters was moved to Wuxi, with offices established in Shanghai and Qingdao. The organization primarily focuses on ship and ocean engineering, hydrodynamics, structural mechanics, vibration, noise, impact resistance, and associated technologies, as well as the research and development of high-performance vessels and underwater engineering. Notable scientists include Wu Yousheng, Xu Binghan, and Xu Qinan.[2] The primary representative product is the Jiaolong manned submersible.[3] On June 27, 2013, Ye Cong, the principal scientist of the Jiaolong, conducted a dive in the Mariana Trench of the Pacific Ocean, reaching a depth of 7,062 meters, so establishing a record for China's manned deep dive at that time.[4][5]
