The Technical Centre (CT) of the Guiana Space Centre (CSG), Europe's space port. Located some 14 km East from the Ariane Launch Complexes (ELAs) the CT incorporates all the CSG headquaters as well as managing and control facilities, including the Jupiter Mission Control Centre (the large building close to the Ariane 5 mock-up), and the initial S1 Payload Processing Facility (EPCU) for satellite checkout (not visible).
