Europe’s Vega-C rocket launches Earth-observation satellite

Europe’s Vega-C rocket successfully returned to flight on December 5, 2024, after a two-year hiatus following a failure in 2022.

The rocket launched the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite from French Guiana, which will join Sentinel-1A to complete a dual-satellite constellation for Earth observation.

This mission was crucial for Europe’s space program, highlighting the capabilities of the Vega-C rocket, designed by the Italian aerospace company Avio.

The satellite, equipped with radar instruments, will enhance environmental monitoring and maritime safety, Space.com has reported.
