FLIGHT VV22: FAILURE OF THE MISSION

Colleferro, 21 December 2022 – Approximately two minutes and 27 seconds after the liftoff of the Vega C launcher, an anomaly occurred shortly after the second stage (Zefiro 40) was ignited, leading to the premature termination of the mission. Mission data analysis is underway to clarify the reasons for what happened.

A press conference organized by Arianespace on Zoom is scheduled for Dec. 21 at 4 PM CET, accessible at the link: https://arianespace.zoom.us/j/65576582999
