Ariane 6, which suffers from some delays. Vega and Vega-C are also supposed to fill the lower segment gap, but they are grounded after a series of mishaps. Tough spot for ESA launchers, but we'll get through this!
- semi-extrinsic 3y agoAFAIU only Vega-C is grounded, Vega is still in operations with SSMS 16 scheduled for September? But yeah, Vega-C has been very unlucky with the nozzle throat insert on the second stage eroding away and failing, plus the general trouble with certain parts being made in Ukraine now during the war.
- m2fkxy 3y agoTrue! Vega did experience quite some trouble in the past too.
