Description
"It's a unit with a specific mission, made up of artillerymen, and its task is to defend the airspace of the Guiana Space Center," explains Captain Ismael.
After several postponements, Europe's Ariane 6 launcher will carry out its first commercial mission on Monday when it puts a French military intelligence satellite into space.
The launch from the Kourou base in French Guiana is key to Europe's efforts to build up its security autonomy amid the shocks caused by the US-Russia diplomatic rapprochement.
