The second flight (VV02) of the Vega launch vehicle is currently planned for May 2013 and will put several small satellites into orbit.Of the payloads, only Proba-V has been published.Does anyone have info, which payloads will also on board of this flight?
Now that this launch has been moved up to mid-March, do we now know what else is on board the rocket other than Proba-V?
Launch of Proba-V on Vega Proba-V is a miniaturised satellite for a full-scale mission tracking global vegetation. Along with its main mission, Proba-V also hosts five promising technologies from across Europe that will be demonstrated in space. Proba-V will be launched on the new Vega vehicle, which will on this flight further demonstrate its capability by carrying several payloads for delivery into two very different orbits. Location: CSG, Europe’s Spaceport (French Guiana). Expected date: April
Will there be even more payloads other than the two confirmed ones?
Proba-V satellite.....
