Europe Spaceport - Benn - 12-13-2009
Europe's Spaceport is located in the northeast of South America in French Guiana. Kourou is situated just over 500 km north of the equator. That place is ideal for launches such as Vega or Soyuz. Since 1975 ESA has funded two thirds of the spaceport's annual budget to finance the operations needed to maintain the high level services provided by Spaceport.
