On 28 January 2019, the first qualification model of the P120C solid-fuel motor, configured for Vega-C, was static fired on the test stand at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.
Fully loaded with 142 tonnes of propellant, the 13.5 m long and 3.4 m diameter motor burned for 135 seconds delivering a maximum thrust of about 4000 kN. No anomalies were seen and the performance met expectations.
