Daniel Neuenschwander, Director of Space Transportation at ESA was at Europe's Spaceport for Vega's return to flight on 28 April 2021. Vega lifted off on flight VV18 to deliver into two separate orbits the Earth observation satellite Pléiades Neo-3 and five auxiliary payloads.
“I’m pleased to see Vega is back in business and thank our teams in ESA, together with Arianespace, Avio and suppliers for their hard work to arrive at this point. This flight shows Vega’s versatility. It delivered one main satellite and made use of spare capacity to deploy five additional satellites to a separate orbit,” commented Daniel Neuenschwander.
