Vinca International Spaceport

The Vinca International Spaceport (VIS) is a large rocket-launching site in the Republic of Énqusqó. Located by the western entrance to the Vinca Canal, it covers a land area of approximately 10.1km2. It was built in 2007 through the combined efforts and funding of several space programs. The location was picked due to access to a wide degree of orbital inclinations available from the site's low latitude. The logistical support of the Vinca Canal also facilitates the transport of goods and vehicles to the site for use by international space agencies. The inclusion of the RCE in the missions performed by these other space agencies has allowed the Énqusqan Space Agency (EnSA) to develop its own programs, with the first domestically designed and funded satellite being launched in 2018.

The VIS supports facilities to undertake a range of activities include assembling, testing, launching and tracking satellites.

Facilities
The main facilities at the site are:


 * Nyáru Launch Complex
 * Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)
 * Spacecraft Testing Building (STB)
 * Váyí Control Centre

These facilities are used for the normal operations of the spaceport. This includes assembling launch vehicles; the maintenance, inspections, and final checks of satellites; loading satellites onto launch vehicles; launching rockets; and tracking launch vehicles after lift-off.

The VIS plays a pivotal role in satellite launches by multiple space agencies across Vanatas. The first launch from the site took place in 2009 with the launch of the Vinka Space Probe by the KRB.

The spaceport has additional facilities to help celebrate its culture of international cooperation. The International Astrophysics Science Park was established in 2011 in a bid to secure the spaceport a more prominent role in the development of scientific ideas. Several expos and conferences take place at the park each year. In addition, the Univeristy of Vinceénqu has labs on the site where PhD and resident professors can perform funded research. There is also a Museum of Space at the spaceport which has displays on the history of the spaceport and the history of space exploration in general. The displays are written in both Vince and Énqutsa, however, tours and workshops take place in Riyatan, Myrish and Interspeech. In 2021, the museum generated ꤊ8 million in revenue for the local economy as the spaceport has become a more prominent tourist destination for travellers to Vinceénqu.
