Guiana space centre posted by brina
The Guiana Space Centre or, more commonly, Centre Spatial Guyanais is a French spaceport near Kourou in French Guiana.
Operational since 1968, it is particularly suitable as a location for a spaceport due to its proximity to the equator, and that launches are in a favourable direction over water.
The European Space Agency, the French space agency CNES, and the commercial Arianespace company conduct launches from Kourou.
