  • The economic advantages of the Woomera Launch Site in South Australia that were all important in the initial formation of ELDO were, by 1966, outweighed by the limitations that the north pointing range imposed on future applications of the three stage Europa Launcher. The predominance of equatorial orbits (and, in particular, geostationary orbits) in the communications satellite field, demanded a near equatorial, east pointing range for efficient satellite launching.

    To overcome this limitation on future Europa applications, a supplementary programme to establish an equatorial launch site (ELS) at Kourou in French Guyane, and to develop the Europa 2 launch vehicle for operations from the ELS, was therefore initiated in 1966.
