Soyuz in Guiana
This is the mythical rocket par excellence, the one that launched Sputnik, the first satellite and Gagarin, the first man in space. The CSG, Guiana Space Centre, is now one of its launch bases: a historic achievement.
A new Director for the CSG
The Guiana Space Centre, Europe’s space port from where Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega blast off, has had a new “boss” since 1 July 2012. Joël Barre has therefore handed over management of the CSG to Bernard Chemoul (above photograph). Born in January 1958 and a graduate of ENSMA (École Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique et d’Aérotechnique / French National Superior School of Mechanics and Aeronautics), he was previously Deputy Director and Protection, Safety and Environment Assistant Manager for the centre since 2008.
