Soyuz at the Guiana Space Centre was the Soyuz ST launch service flown from the ELS complex at Europe's Spaceport, using Soyuz ST-A/ST-B vehicles with a Fregat upper stage for medium-class missions.^[1]^[2] The Guiana service is retired: Soyuz operations at Europe's Spaceport were discontinued on 2022-02-26 after 27 launches.^[2] The published performance envelope for this service was 3,250 kg to geostationary transfer orbit and up to 4,400 kg to sun-synchronous orbit.^[3] Treat it as historical Guiana Soyuz capability, not a currently active launch service from that site.^[2]
