EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Soyuz rocket launch site tour

by | Dec 11, 2009 | commercial launch services, ESA, exploration, Russia, Soyuz | 2 comments

Hyperbola was taken to the Soyuz launch site at France’s Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on 9 December and this 30min 51s video basically spans the entire time we were there. With a French speaking tour guide (all translations welcome) we got to see the entire site and you will see the beginnning of the mobile gantry that is yet to be fully assembled

Si vous comprenez le commentaire français, alors n’oubliez pas de régler le volume sonore le plus haut possible car je n’étais pas toujours à proximité de la guide touristique
