The rocket will launch the Italian LARES-2 geodetic satellite and six CubeSats microsatellites into orbit.

The first successful launch of the new European Vega-C launch vehicle took place at the Kourou launch site in French Guiana. This was reported by the European Space Agency (ESA) on Wednesday, July 13th.

The rocket is supposed to put into orbit the Italian Space Agency’s LARES-2 (Laser Relativity Satellite) geodetic satellite and six CubeSats microsatellites, created by European universities.

The Vega-C is a new version of the Vega light class rocket in use since 2012. The new rocket, 35 m tall (5 m higher than the previous version), is capable of launching approximately 2.2 tons of payload. in a polar orbit 700 km high. It has more power and more flexible configuration options than the original version.

Recall that last week SpaceX launched the “anniversary” batch of Starlink satellites. At the same time, the reusable first phase of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle was used for launch for the 13th time.
