Avio is working with its partners to identify the cause of the anomaly that has led to the premature ending of the Vega C VV22 mission. 

Due to a defective equipment that needs to be replaced on the launcher, Flight VV22 –initially scheduled for November 24, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana– is being postponed.

The Vega C launch vehicle and the two Pléiades Neo satellites are in safe conditions.

Avio is proud to announce today its participation as co-signatory of the "Declaration for a Responsible Space Sector", together with other industrialists and representatives of the European Space Community.

On Wednesday, June 22, 2022 at 06:50 pm local time, an Ariane 5 launcher lifted off from the Guiana Space Center, Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana (South America), successfully orbiting two geostationary telecommunication satellites, MEASAT-3d and GSAT-24.

From our involvement in the Project Kuiper, to the upcoming maiden flight of Vega C and successful tests on the Vega E M10 engine, to the difficult international scenario, our future is full of opportunities. Our CEO talked about it with SpaceNews.

ESA’s Vega C launch vehicle will fly in the second quarter of 2022 offering more performance to all orbits and extended mission flexibility at a similar cost to the current Vega.
