Vega E's M10 LOX-CH engine (new model DM2) succesfully tested

The first 5 engine tests for DM2 were completed, introducing a new, enhanced, lighter, and fully throttleable version of Avio's upper stage engine for the upcoming M-10, the upper stage engine of the Vega-E launcher.

The engine is designed and built by Avio with 100kN of thrust using liquid Oxygen and Methane. It is the first engine of this type in EU.

Investment in T4i Technology for Propulsion and Innovation

On 4th September 2023 Avio invested ~2.5 M€ in T4i's capital, equal to approximately 17% of the shares of T4i.

T4i, spin-off of the University of Padua, was founded in 2014 and it is specialized in 'green' storable chemical propulsion systems, electric propulsion systems, and attitude control thruster.

The agreement will enhance the effectiveness and timeto-market for the introduction of new functional propulsion systems in our strategic plan for application on:

  • GEC/MPGE Engine
  • IOS propulsion module
  • Vega upper stage propulsion

P160C activities update

The P160C is going to be the booster of Ariane 6 Block 2, with the main purpose to meet the needs of Kuiper's constellation and the first stage of the next configuration of Vega Launcher, to increase its performance, competitiveness and also versatility.

Update of the P160C activities at 30 June 2023:

  • procurement of process machines, tools and means
  • acceptance and process validation
  • QM3 (s/n 01) manufacturing

Next steps:

  • April 2024: first IMC shipment from Colleferro
  • Mid of 2024: casting at Regulus plants
  • End of 2024: static firing test
