The Ariane launch base was designed to allow developmental and operational launches to be conducted from the Quiana Space Center with the necessary safety and flexibility and with a frequency of up to four launches per year. During the initial development phase, there will be an average to 2 launches per year, but these may take place within 3 months of one another. The base's geographical position, close to the equator (5.2368 N), is a favorable factor when launching any satellite, and particularly so for a geostationary spacecraft. Launches can be made from the base on azimuths from - 10.5 deg through north to + 93.5 deg.
