Vega's ridesharing satellites secured on the SSMS dispenser inside the fairing are hoisted to the top of the mobile gantry at Europe's Spaceport.

Vega's new Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS) dispenser will release 53 satellites on Europe's first rideshare flight VV16, dedicated to light satellites.

Multiple light satellites secured on the SSMS dispenser inside the fairing are mounted on Vega inside the mobile gantry at Europe's Spaceport ahead of flight VV16.

Vega's Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS) dispenser with all satellites is mounted on the rocket's payload adapter at Europe's Spaceport.

Low Earth orbit

Polar and Sun-synchronous orbit

Geostationary orbit

Once the satellite reaches the furthest point from Earth in Geostationary transfer orbit (green), it fires its engines in such a way that it enters into a circular GEO orbit (blue)
