Fiche récapitulative
Construction of a new launch pad at the Guyane Space Centre and adaptation of the Soyuz launcher, within the framework of the Soyuz at the CSG programme of the European Space Agency.
With the Soyuz launcher, Arianespace is expected to improve its launchers’ range, optimise Ariane 5 capacity and strengthen its position in the market. The project is relevant to a number of EU Policy areas, in particular EU Space Policy, the EU Growth Initiative and the Lisbon strategy as well as the Policy on social and economic cohesion.
The environmental impact of the project will be analysed in the context of a full Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) but due to its nature, size and location the Project is not expected to have a significant negative impact on the environment.
Procurement procedures are in line with applicable legislation and EU directives and therefore acceptable to the Bank.
