Launch Pad & Location
Ariane Launch Area 4
Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana
The Ariane Launch Area 4 launch pad has hosted 7 rocket launches, including 7 orbital launch attempts. The Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana launch site has been the location for 333 total rocket launches.
The Guiana Space Centre is a European spaceport to the northwest of Kourou in French Guiana, a region of France in South America. Kourou is located at a latitude of 5°. In operation since 1968, it is a suitable location for a spaceport because of its equatorial location and open sea to the east.
