VEGA LAUNCH SITE COMPLETES INITIAL PREPARATION PHASE

The Spaceport’s ELA-1 facility – where Arianespace’s lightweight Vega will be operated – is now ready for integration and qualification tests. These activities are scheduled to begin this summer at the refurbished site, which was previously used between 1979 and 1989 for missions with the Ariane 1 and 3 launcher versions.
