Vega, one of the brightest stars of our sky, turns out to be lonelier than expected, leading astronomers to new and deep questions
Vega C is nearly ready on the pad to resume launch operations, two years after the VV22 failure. VV25 will carry the Copernicus Sentinel 1-C satellite
The last Vega rocket has successfully lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, delivering into orbit the Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite
The Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite was fully fueled and prepared for the incoming liftoff onboard the last mission of the Vega rocket
Airbus-built Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite heads to French Guiana for launch, continuing climate monitoring and environmental data collection from space
Avio carried out the first of two static fire tests of its upgraded Zefiro 40 second stage. The following one will be crucial for the return to flight of Vega C
Avio's Vega faces crisis: vital parts missing for final mission. BIOMASS satellite launch uncertain. $200M mission in jeopardy
In a historic decision, ESA grants Avio the autonomy to commercialize Vega launchers independently, marking a significant shift in the European space sector
Vega mission VV23, very likely, experienced a deployment failure of two secondary payloads out of ten, named ESTCube-2 and ANSER-Leader
