Arianespace suspends the flights of the Vega-C rocket by a commission of inquiry

The new European Vega-C light launcher, which was to make its first commercial flight with two Airbus satellites on board, went missing after taking off from Kourou on Tuesday.

The launches of the European Vega-C rocket, whose first commercial launch failed on Tuesday night, are suspended while a commission of inquiry establishes the causes of the failure and proposes solutions, Arianespace president Stéphane Israel announced Wednesday.

Co-chaired by Arianespace and the European Space Agency (ESA), this “independent” commission will be “in charge of pinpointing the cause of the failure and proposing strong and lasting corrective actions to ensure a safe and reliable return to flight of Vega-C”. ”, He said during a brief press conference. “We take full responsibility for this Vega-C failure,” said Avio boss, Vega-C industrial prime contractor Giulio Ranzo.
