LAS LAJAS, Argentina - When China built a military-run space station in Argentina's Patagonian region it promised to include a visitors' centre to explain the purpose of its powerful 16-story antenna.

The centre is now built - behind the 8-foot barbed wire fence that surrounds the entire space station compound. Visits are by appointment only.
