Guiana Space Centre (CSG) - Europe's spaceport

The CSG is dedicated to Europe’s launcher programme. It coordinates all resources needed for launch infrastructures; launcher and payload preparation, control of launch operations and so on.

The site was chosen in 1967 for its ideal location 5° north of the equator, which is ideal for launching geostationary satellites. It also offers the advantage of its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and a favourable climate.
