The Guiana Space Centre, known in French as Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG), European Spaceport in French Guiana, is Europe’s gateway to space from where all ESA-developed launchers have been launched, offering guaranteed access to space with the Vega and Ariane rockets for over 45 years.

As Europe’s space economy grows with companies and initiatives such as the European Launcher Challenge, new launch service providers are going to be using the spaceport’s unique location and facilities to launch in all directions, from East to North .

To accommodate these changes and more, the framework for Europe’s spaceport has been updated to outline the evolved responsibilities for governance, funding, and operational use.
