GLOBALSTAR2 - OBPE
will be the second generation satellites of low earth orbit (LEO) constellations. The satellites Globalstar are major mobile operator satellites providing voice and data services for business institutions and private users.
Vega
ESA launching pad for satellite launchers from 300 to 2000 kg intended for the polar and the low-Earth orbits used for many scientific and Earth observation missions.
Enmap
German hyperspectral satellite mission with 200 channels within the broad spectral range from 420 nm to 2450 nm and high ground resolution of 30 m...
Amos 4 - CEU
will also expand the operator’s range of Ku- and Ka-band capacity to provide high-quality...
BepiColombo - OBC
will set off in 2014 on a journey lasting approximately 6 years. When it arrives at Mercury in mid 2020...
Sentinel 1 - SMU
The Sentinel1SMU -European Radar Observatory is a polar-orbiting satellite system for the continuation...
Swarm - OBC
The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution, and gain new insights into improving our knowledge of the Earth’s interior and climate.
Lisa
(Laser Interferometry Satellite Antenna). Its mission is to detect and observe gravitational waves from astronomical sources such as massive black holes. LISA consists of three spacecrafts acting as interferometers with an arm length
Soyuz
a middle class launching pad whose performance will complement the launching pads ESA Ariane 5 and Vega perfectly.

VEGA European Launcher Advanced Generation current and communication systems design and realizationAlthough there is a growing tendency for satellites to become larger, there is still a need for a small launcher to place 300 to 2000 kg satellites, economically, into the polar and low-Earth orbits used for many scientific and Earth observation missions.Europe’s answer to these needs is Vega, named after the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere. Vega will make access to space easier, quicker and cheaper.Costs are being kept to a minimum by using advanced low-cost technologies and by introducing an optimized synergy with existing production facilities used for Ariane launchers.
