Space Centre to Cayenne

This morning, there was a tour of the Centre Spatiale Guyanaise or the Guiana Space Centre.
The location of the space centre was selected based on a number of factors. One of the primary benefits is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy to launch spacecraft into a near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes.
Interesting to walk around the control centre and visit some of the facilities.Read more
