    Vega launches PRISMA

    Published on Mar 21, 2019

    An Arianespace Vega launch vehicle (Flight VV14) launched the PRISMA Earth observation satellite from the Vega Launch Complex (SLV) in Kourou, French Guiana, on 22 March 2019, at 01:50:35 UTC (21 March, at 22:50:35 local time). PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) was built for the ASI Italian space agency by OHB ITALIA and LEONARDO. PRISMA will employ its capabilities for environmental monitoring, resources management, identification and classification of crops, fight against pollution, etc.

    Vega failed launch with FalconEye1

    Published on Jul 10, 2019

    An Arianespace Vega launch vehicle (Flight VV15) launched the FalconEye1 Earth observation satellite from the Vega Launch Complex (SLV) in Kourou, French Guiana, on 11 July 2019, at 01:53:03 UTC (10 July, at 22:53:03 local time).
    According to Arianespace: "Approximately two minutes after the Vega launcher’s liftoff from the Spaceport in French Guiana, a launcher anomaly occurred shortly after ignition of the Zefiro 23 second stage – leading to the premature end of the mission. Data analyses are in progress to clarify the reasons for this failure. An independent inquiry commission will be set up in the coming hours."
    The Falcon Eye satellite was a high performance optical Earth-observation satellite system for the Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirates (UAEAF) manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space as prime contractor and Thales Alenia Space as co-prime.

    Vega-C launch

    Jul 13, 2022

    The first launch of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) new Vega-C launch vehicle lifted off from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana, on 13 July 2022, at 13:13 UTC (10:13 local time). The main payload for the maiden flight (VV21) is LARES-2, a scientific mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), while six CubeSats make a secondary payload package: AstroBio CubeSat, Greencube, ALPHA, Trisat-R, MTCube-2 and Celesta. Vega-C is an upgraded and more powerful version of the current Vega launch vehicle, with 800 kg more payload performance. Vega-C features a new, more powerful first stage (P120C), a new second stage (Zefiro-40), the same third stage (Zefiro-9) as used on Vega and an improved re-ignitable upper stage (AVUM+).
