ESA’S NEW FAST MISSION IS ARRAKIHS

2 November 2022

ARRAKIHS has been selected as the new fast mission in ESA's Science Programme. By imaging faint galaxies in the nearby Universe, ARRAKIHS will provide important measurements to test open questions in cosmology.

...
Following a call for missions in December 2021, 19 summary proposals were submitted by the space science community, with four teams subsequently invited to provide more comprehensive proposals. At the Science Programme Committee (SPC) meeting on 2 November, ARRAKIHS was selected to move into a study phase. ARRAKIHS is scheduled for launch in the early 2030’s.

The ARRAKIHS (Analysis of Resolved Remnants of Accreted galaxies as a Key Instrument for Halo Surveys) proposal team comprises an international group of experts led by Rafael Guzmán (Instituto de Física de Cantabria, Spain).

According to the attached document, launch is scheduled for the third quarter of 2029 on a dedicated Vega C or rideshare.

Cross-post; VV22 launch failure:

Flight VV22: Failure of the mission

Approximately [3] minutes and 27 seconds after liftoff an anomaly occurred on the Zefiro 40 thus ending the Vega C mission.

Data analyses are in progress to determine the reasons of this failure.

A media briefing is organized Wednesday, December 21 at noon local time (3:00 pm UTC) with the videoconference platform Zoom via the link below:

I see no reference on the press-kit to OQ Technology nanosat being on board.

At the beginning of this month, OQ Technology's MACSAT was scheduled for next Vega C flight, not this one.

Quote
Ibadan, 2 December 2022. – OQ Technology, a pioneer of 5G IoT satellite services, has announced March 2023 as the planned launch date for the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) & European Space Agency ( ESA) -supported MACSAT mission, following its recent 13 million euros Series A funding round.

The on-orbit pathfinder mission, to launch on a Vega-C rocket rideshare mission (VV23), is to demonstrate advanced 5G IoT services.

Meanwhile, Europe’s Vega-C rocket is now slated to launch ESA’s EarthCARE Earth science mission in early 2024.

Next Ariane 5 launch is delayed to June:

NET June - Syracuse 4B (Comsat-NG 2), Heinrich Hertz (H2Sat), Ovzon-3 - Ariane 5 ECA+ (VA260) - Kourou ELA-3 - 00:15:00

https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/le-retard-du-satellite-allemand-h2sat-repousse-le-lancement-de-syracuse-4b-948096.html

So the JUICE Mission in April will be the penultimate Ariane 5 launch!

ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher says he expects the investigation into last month's Vega C launch failure to wrap up on the second half of February. Return to flight as soon as possible but acknowledges need for deep analysis of quality issues with vehicle.

Daniel Neuenschwander, ESA director of space transportation, says that because the Vega C failure involves it second stage, it may be possible to return to flight first with Vega (which uses a different second stage) before Vega C.

SEOUL, Feb. 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will launch a multipurpose satellite in the fourth quarter of this year using a European space rocket, the science ministry said Wednesday.
The Korea Multipurpose Satellite 6, known as the Arirang 6, was originally planned to be launched on Russia's Angara 1.2 vehicle last year from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northwestern Russia.
But the plan was scrapped due to the international community's sanctions on Moscow over the Ukrainian invasion.
The Ministry of Science and ICT said it has canceled a contract with Russia last month and picked the Vega-C rocket co-developed by the European Space Agency for the new space launch provider through an international auction.
But the actual launch is expected to take place in the fourth quarter, as Vega-C is now under investigation for its launch failure in December, said the ministry.
On top of that, the ministry said it is working on rescheduling the launch of a next-generation midsized observational satellite, which was scheduled to be aboard Russia's Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Satellite operator Ovzon, which lost its slot on one of the last Ariane 5 launches because of satellite production delays, says its Ovzon 3 GEO satellite will now launch on a Falcon 9 in the 3rd quarter of the year.

UNOOSA and Avio select team from University in Nairobi for CubeSat launch opportunity using the Vega C launcher

Quote
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Avio S.p.A. (Avio) have selected a consortium led by the University of Nairobi in Kenya, joined by the University of Arizona from the United States of America and the non-profit organization Space Trust as the first awardee of the 'Accessing space with Vega C' programme. The selected team will launch a CubeSat at no cost on board the Vega C rocket.

The "NaSPUoN-0GPM2030" satellite is a 3U class CubeSat aiming at building capacity in Kenya by bringing together international partners with existing technical capabilities. The satellite will be developed at the University of Nairobi supported by the University of Arizona and Space Trust.

The CubeSat will be used to demonstrate technologies, such as an inflatable antenna. It will build on NaSPUoN (Nanosatellite Platform for the University of Nairobi), a test bed to integrate satellite technologies, designed and developed by students from the University of Nairobi under a grant provided by Kenya Space Agency.

Avio investors presentation Feb. 15 2023
On page 10 a "V2K" engine is mentioned.
Is that the planned in-house replacement for the Ukrainian engine for Vega-C AVUM+ ?

The failure at VV21 is not mentioned anywhere. I'm afraid that nothing has changed with Avio.
