Arianespace Vega C mission fails just minutes after lift-off and loses two satellites

Pléiades Neo 5 and Pléiades Neo 6 weighed a total of 1,977kg and were headed to sun-synchronous orbit.

Arianespace wrote in the mission description of Vega C: “The constellation is made of four identical satellites, built using the latest Airbus innovations and technological developments, and allows to image any point of the globe, several times per day, at 30-centimeter resolution.

“Highly agile and reactive, they can be tasked up to 15 minutes before acquisition and send the images back to Earth within the following hour.”
