The European launch vehicle Vega - Illustration - European Vega Launcher - Illustration - Vega is a European Space Agency (ESA) launcher capable of placing a payload of up to 2 tonnes in low orbit. It is expected that it will join from 2010 the range of launchers of the space agency, which includes launchers Soyuz and Ariane. Under development since 1998, the Vega launcher is an all - solid three - stage vehicle with a liquid - fuelled injection module, based on proven technologies from Ariane 5 booster stages and Fiatavio's Zefiro solid rocket motor. Vega will be marketed and operated by Arianespace, in parallel to Ariane 5. Vega is designed to loft single or multiple payloads to orbits up to 1,500 km in altitude. Its reference payload capability is about 1,500 kg to a circular 500 - km - high Sun - synchronous orbit but it can also loft satellites from 300 kg to more than 2 metric tons, as well as piggyback microsatellites of less than 100 kg each.

The Vega launcher will be operated from the former Ariane Launch Complex n* 1 (ELA-1), which was deactivated in 1989. Under development since 1998, the Vega launcher is an all - solid three - stage vehicle with a liquid - fuelled injection module, based on proven technologies from Ariane 5 booster stages and Fiatavio's Zefiro solid rocket motor.

Phobos mission approaching Phobos - The control module in approach to the Phobos satellite. The command module, now free of the larger Phobos mission rocket, begins a close approach to Phobos. With an average diameter of less than 12 miles, irregularly shaped Phobos has a very weak gravitational field making it relatively easy for the command module to come very close without being drawn all the way to its surface. The goal is to come close enough to permit space-suited astrogeologists equipped with personal manned maneuvering units (MMUS) to act as mini-spaceships themselves and descend to the surface. On the surface of Mars to the right can be seen Elysium Planitia and the volcano Albor Tholus

The Ariane 44LP rocket is the second most powerful version of the Ariane 4 cranes. Maiden launch of Ariane 4, from the Ariane Launch Complex no.2 (ELA-2) at the Guiana Space Centre, Europe's space port, on June 15, 1988. On its first mission (V22), Ariane 4 flew in 44LP configuration, with four liquid and four solid boosters. Two primary payloads were successfully released in gestationary tansfer orbit (GTO): ESA's Meteosat P2 meteorological satellite and PanamSat 1, the first private international communication satellite. The Amsat 3C microsatellite was also flown piggyback and successfully deployed. The Ariane 44LP was the second most powerful version of the Ariane 4 series. Its initial payload capacity of 3,700 kg to GTO was eventually increased to 4,330 kg through a series of upgrades
