The launch was a success, marking Vega’s 20th successful launch, and paving the way for the future of European space exploration.
Europe’s Vega rocket successfully launched its final mission, carrying the Sentinel-2C satellite, which will be crucial for monitoring water quality, detecting methane emissions, and supporting natural disaster management. The launch, originally delayed due to technical issues, marked the end of an era for the Vega rocket, which will be replaced by the more powerful Vega-C.
