Giorgio Tumino, ESA IXV Programme Manager, present first results to the press

After a perfect mission on 11 February, ESA’s Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) has travelled from the splashdown site in the Pacific Ocean just west of the Galapagos islands, to Le Bourget.

In the five months since the mission, the initial analysis has been completed and results are presented on 16 June 2015 during a press conference, at the ESA pavilion, the Paris Air & Space Show.
