Vega should allow European operators more control over their space projects.
According to statistics compiled by the Ascend aerospace consultancy, 58% (11 out of 19) of new rocket since 1990 have experienced a major anomaly on their first flight.
It is for this reason that the sateliltes carried on Vega have all been given a "free ride".
