Emmanuel Macron was expected this Tuesday at the Kourou space center, in Guyana. From where the Ariane 6 rocket, currently being assembled, will soon be launched.
A strategic project for France and Europe, it is a priority objective to assert Europe's strategic autonomy in space and compete with Elon Musk's Space looking for a place on a folding seat. The launch window is between June 14 and the end of July, says Philippe Lier, director of the Guiana Space Center.
