ELA-2 (French: Ensemble de Lancement Ariane 2, lit. 'Ariane Launch Complex 2') is a launch pad at the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. Located approximately 750 metres south of ELA-1, it was used by Arianespace to support the launches of Ariane 2, Ariane 3, and Ariane 4 between 1986 and 2003. Following the retirement of the Ariane 4 in favour of the Ariane 5, ELA-2 was deactivated. In September 2011 the pad's mobile service tower was demolished using explosives.
