Smile will now keep on travelling with the Vega-C upper stage AVUM+.

Zefiro-40 and Zefiro-9 fit together like a puzzle piece 🧩 The third stage of the Vega-C rocket, Zefiro-9, is the same as used on Vega and burns 10 tonnes of solid propellant. #VV29 🤝 @esa.int @science.esa.int @operations.esa.int

After 2 minutes of pure thrust (and 142 tonnes of solid propellant), the first stage of Vega-C, P120C, was turned off and left behind. Now the second stage takes over: Zefiro-40 will fire for 3 minutes, propelling the Smile farther away from Earth!

AVUM+ just fired for the last time to ensure a safe deorbit and allowing Vega-C to adhere to the zero debris approach.

Nothing beats a smooth sail 🌴 Back in January, the first 3 stages of the next Vega-C rocket arrived in French Guiana! #VV29 Manufactured in mainland Europe, the stages were transported by Canopée, the first custom-built transporter to use sails, reducing emissions and saving on fuel by up to 30%.

Your package has arrived! 📦 We have confirmation that the 32 Amazon Leo 32 satellites have been delivered.

With just 1/4 of the propellant of his bigger sibling, Zefiro-9 has what it takes to take Smile to its orbit.

The Helix engine was the first European engine to demonstrate staged combustion technology. This engine uses an oxygen-rich staged combustion engine cycle, to get the most out of every drop of propellant.

Start the week with a Smile 😊 In preparation for Vega-C flight #VV29 that will take Smile to orbit from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, we're building the rocket that will take her to space. The P120C solid booster and the Zefiro-40 stage have already been transferred to the launch zone.

Ariane 6 just started to deploy the first of the 32 Amazon Leo satellites.

I guess I’m not shocked that the Republicans I grew up with ended up not really caring about small government or states’ rights or, like, NATO. But I’m genuinely surprised and disappointed they haven’t distanced themselves from this tacky nonsense.
