The constellation of launch complexes and nuclear weapons test sites established by France in Algeria began with the Special Weapons Test Center (CIEES). This began operations at Colomb-Bechar, Algeria, on April 24, 1947. Development of the larger Veronique series required a new facility. This went into operation at Hammaguir, 120 km southwest of Colomb-Bechar, in May 1952. The evacuation of these launch sites was a condition of the final agreement signed in March 1962 that ended the Algerian Civil War. The sites continued in use until finally turned over to the Algerian government on 1 July 1967. French missile test activities moved to Biscarosse, in France, and orbital launches to Kourou, in French Guiana.

AKA: Centre Interarmees d'Essais d'Engins Speciaux;CIEES. First Launch: 1952-05-20. Last Launch: 1967-04-04. Number: 275 . Longitude: -2.84 deg. Latitude: 31.10 deg.

B0, the first pad, for test of light missiles
B1, for larger rockets, available from December 1949.

Development of the larger Veronique series required a new facility. This went into operation at Hammaguir, 120 km southwest of Colomb-Bechar, in May 1952.

By the end of the 1950's the launch complexes at Hammaguir had been expanded to include:

Bacchus for solid propellant sounding rockets
Blandine for liquid propellant sounding rockets
Beatrice for Hawk surface-to-air missile tests. This was later used for launches of the Cora test vehicle in support of the Europa orbital launcher program
Brigitte for the 'precious stones' rocket series, culminating in the Diamant orbital launcher

The evacuation of these launch sites was a condition of the final agreement signed in March 1962 that ended the Algerian Civil War. The sites continued in use until finally turned over to the Algerian government on 1 July 1967. French missile test activities moved to Biscarosse, in France, and orbital launches to Kourou, in French Guiana.

Minimum Inclination: 34.0 degrees. Maximum Inclination: 40.0 degrees.
