Many space centers exist in the world is currently in use for testing launcher or put in orbit, or having worked in the past but now unused. The map above is the inventory.

Rules of very strict security governing the implementation of a spaceport: the explosion of launchers, premature fallout, manufacture and storage of fuels require removal of populations. In addition, a situation close to the equator is favorable to put in orbit, which explains the floating plants in the middle of the ocean.
