En ce moment, près de 1000 satellites sont en activité au dessus de nos têtes et ils nous rendent de multiples services. Sans eux, il n'y aurait ni télévision, ni GPS ; les lignes téléphoniques et internet seraient saturés; l'économie mondiale paralysée.
Ces sentinelles surveillent aussi notre planète et suivent les catastrophes qui s'y déroulent. L'espace est de plus en plus au service de la Terre et il est devenu un enjeu commercial et stratégique.
Chaque année, plus d'une vingtaine de nouveaux satellites sont placés en orbite. La moitié d'entre eux est lancée depuis la Guyane. C'est dans ce département français, à Kourou, qu'est installé l'un des plus important port spatial au monde. Fred et Jamy vont suivre une campagne de lancement du poids lourd de l'espace, Ariane 5. A cette occasion, ils vont nous faire découvrir les autres fusées qui décollent de Guyane : le lanceur russe Soyouz et la petite fusée européenne Véga.
