Representatives of MaiaSpace, local authorities of Kourou, and the French space agency CNES met on February 24 at the former Soyuz launch base site in the Guiana Space Centre to sign a Temporary Occupation Agreement of the Public Domain.

The Temporary Occupation Agreement of the Public Domain allows MaiaSpace to begin dismantling Russian-specific infrastructure at the former Soyuz launch base site and to start construction of modifications for Maia launches from the site.

MaiaSpace began work on adapting the former Soyuz facility last year.

CNES published an opportunity for a commercial operator to take over the former Soyuz site in April 2024.
