    ESA launches upgraded Vega-C rocket on first mission

    by Ian Atkinson July 13, 2022
    written by Ian Atkinson

    Vega-C, the newest iteration of the European Vega rocket, has launched on its debut flight, VV21. Vega-C boasts a higher payload capacity and lower cost per kilogram of payload than the original Vega rocket.

    As part of its first mission, the vehicle carried seven payloads from several European nations to a targetted 6,000 km medium Earth orbit (MEO). VV21 was set to lift off from pad ELA-1 in Kourou, French Guiana at 8:13 AM local time (11:13 UTC) on July 13 but was delayed until 13:13 UTC.
