Vega User’s Manual

The Vega launcher to orbit small payloads in Arianespace Service Vega is being developed within a European Program organised under the aegis of the European Space Agency. The launcher’s prime contractor is ELV S.p.A, a joint company of Fiat Avio and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Following a decision taken by the participating European States, the responsibility for the marketing, sale, mission management and launch services of the operational Vega vehicle and its updated versions will be entrusted to Arianespace… Arianespace’ s commercial launch vehicle family is ready to expand with the addition of Vega, a new launcher scheduled to be operational in 2008 for missions with small to medium sized satellite. Vega has an essential role within the family of European launchers, complementing Ariane (which is optimised for large satellites for missions to geostationary transfer orbit and low Earth orbit) and Soyuz (tailored for medium satellites to low Earth orbit and small GTO spacecraft). The four-stage vehicle is tailored to carry small scientific spacecraft and other lighter- weight payloads, targeted on a payload lift capacity of 1500 kg on a 700 km circular polar orbit. Arianespace will operate Vega from the European Spaceport in French Guiana. The Vega production benefits from the experience acquired through the Ariane system development, including subsystem, materials and units. The Vega program passed successfully a major milestone, the Zefiro 9 third stage firing test in December 2005
