The 30-meter Vega missile can carry goods weighing about 2.5 tons or less, worth about 776 million euros, of which Italy contributes about 60% of the total value of missiles.

Vega consists of four floors, of which the first three floors operate by burning hard fuel. The fourth floor and the last floor use liquid jet fuel, which helps the spacecraft to start many times to bring it up to its orbit.

What is special about the Vega spacecraft is the engine shell of the first three floors of synthetic resin and ultra-durable graphite.

This mission of the Vega rocket is to bring nine satellites into orbit. The European Space Agency (ESA) hopes Vega will be launched twice a year, to help transport all small satellites of the government and aviation science agency.
