Two years after a false start, the European Vega-C rocket took off

Kourou – Almost two years after the failed launch of the European Vega C, a rocket of this type has taken off again for the first time. The rocket lifted off from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, at around 10:20 p.m. CET. Technology from Austria is also on board. Both the thermal insulation and the satellite’s navigation receiver come from the domestic space company Beyond Gravity.
