Centre spatial Guyanais (Guiana Space Centre)

The Guiana Space Centre, or Centre Spatial Guyanais, is a major spaceport located in French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America. It is strategically positioned near the equator, which allows rockets to launch more efficiently due to the Earth's rotation. Operated by the French space agency CNES and the European Space Agency, it supports satellite launches and space missions. The facility features advanced ground infrastructure and various launch vehicles, making it a key hub for space exploration and commercial satellite deployment. Its unique location and technology contribute significantly to global space activities.
