The Guiana Space Centre (French: Centre Spatial Guyanais or CSG) is a Frenchspaceport near Kourou in French Guiana. Operational since 1968, it is particularly suitable as a location for a spaceport due to its proximity to the equator, and the fact that launches in the favourable direction are over water. The European Space Agency, the French space agency CNES, and the commercial Arianespace company launch their satellites from Kourou.
