Update: ESA and CNES invite industry to participate in a CSG Digitalisation In-Focus event on 4 July 2023 held at ESA Headquarters in Paris with the possibility to join online via webex. For further information and to register, please email the event coordinator.
ESA and CNES invite space and non-space companies from all European Member, Associate and Cooperating States to support the digital modernisation of several activities at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.
Europe’s Spaceport, also known as the Guiana Space Centre (CSG), guarantees independent, reliable and competitive access to space for Europe. The upgrading of the Spaceport’s launch capabilities with the recent addition of Vega-C as well as the upcoming arrival of Ariane 6 will further increase the performance and versatility supported by a modernised launch range.
