Guiana Space Centre (Centre Spatial Guyanais)

The Guiana Space Centre (Centre Spatial Guyanais) is a major spaceport located in French Guiana, South America. It is operated by the European Space Agency and the French space agency CNES. The facility is used to launch satellites into space using powerful rockets. Its location near the equator makes it especially efficient for launching payloads into orbit, as the Earth's rotation provides added boost. The spaceport has multiple launch pads and supports both commercial and scientific missions, playing a key role in European and international space activities.
