2008/05/18 : Gabon is right across the Equator and enjoys the strategic position of base station for the follow up of Ariane launches from French Guyana by the European Space Agency (ESA). All this from NKOLTANG ground station in the south-eastern part of Libreville, the capital of Gabon. Isn't this an additional reason for stronger ties with the Astronomy & Space Science (ASS) community and for more AAS related activities in Gabon beyond the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
