The test stand at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou French Guiana is used for static firing of solid rocket motors to prove technologies, materials and production techniques in combination and validate the behaviour of the assembled motor. This stand was modified to accommodate the new P120C solid rocket motor intended for use with both Vega-C and Ariane 6.
