Kourou: French Guiana's Space City
Kourou is an important town on the northern coast of French Guiana, located on the Atlantic coast and known worldwide for the European Space Agency's Guiana Space Center. As a French overseas department, Kourou relies on its ideal geographic location near the equator (latitude 5°, the fastest speed of the Earth's rotation), and since it became a space launch base in 1968, it has undertaken a number of important launches, including the Ariane series of rockets, and it is the core hub for European space launches, which also brings a lot of employment and technological development opportunities for the local area. In addition to the aerospace industry, Kourou is surrounded by rich rainforest and biodiversity, and has seen a rise in tourism, making it a gateway for exploring the natural and technological charms of French Guiana. This small city, which combines modern aerospace technology with tropical charm, is at the forefront of technological exploration and epitomizes France's development abroad.
