L'ESA est propri\u00e9taire des installations de lancement et des sites industriels. Elle contribue \u00e9galement de mani\u00e8re substantielle aux co\u00fbts fixes du port spatial europ\u00e9en afin d'en garantir la disponibilit\u00e9 op\u00e9rationnelle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Le port spatial de Kourou est en constante mutation, au fur et \u00e0 mesure que de nouveaux lanceurs voient le jour. Depuis 1997, le port spatial a essentiellement servi pour le lanceur lourd Ariane 5. La zone de lancement ELA-3 a \u00e9t\u00e9 agrandie, de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 pouvoir remplir en carburant les \u00e9tages sup\u00e9rieurs d\u2019Ariane 5 lorsque la fus\u00e9e est sur la plate-forme de lancement. L\u2019ESA et Arianespace ont \u00e9galement construit un nouveau complexe pour le contr\u00f4le des satellites. Celui-ci est assez grand pour les v\u00e9hicules de transfert automatique (ATV) de 20 tonnes qui se rendent sur la Station spatiale internationale.<\/p>\n<p>Deux autres lanceurs s\u2019ajouteront bient\u00f4t \u00e0 Ariane 5. La premi\u00e8re des fus\u00e9es europ\u00e9ennes Vega de petite taille devrait s\u2019envoler de Kourou au d\u00e9but de l'ann\u00e9e 2012. L\u2019ESA investit actuellement \u00e0 cet effet 45 millions d\u2019euros, afin d\u2019adapter l\u2019ancienne plate-forme de lancement d\u2019Ariane-1 (ELA-1).<\/p>\n<p>Un autre site de lancement a \u00e9t\u00e9 construit pour le lanceur moyen russe Soyuz, qui est d\u00e9coll\u00e9 de Kourou en octobre 2011. Le site du Soyuz se situe \u00e0 13 km au nord ouest du site de lancement d\u2019Ariane 5. Il comprend un nouveau b\u00e2timent d\u2019assemblage de fus\u00e9e, un centre de contr\u00f4le et une aire de lancement.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To date, ESA has invested more than \u20ac2 billion in improving and developing Europe&#8217;s Spaceport at Kourou.
