Launch Pad & Location
Ariane Launch Area 3
Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana
The Ariane Launch Area 3 launch pad has hosted 118 rocket launches, including 118 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.
