Europe's Spaceport

The Guiana Space Centre at Kourou launches European rockets from about 5° north, close enough to the equator that the Earth's rotation adds roughly 460 m/s of free velocity eastward — worth a significant payload increase.

The clock: Cayenne keeps UTC−3, four hours behind Paris, in a département that is part of the EU and uses the euro.
