Transfer to Vega Launch Site


On Monday 25th November and after a successful encapsulation of the Sentinel-1 Spacecraft into the Fairing, Sentinel-1C was transported to the VEGA launch Pad to be mated with the VEGA-C rocket. This is one of the final stages before the launch. The journey took approximately 2.5 hours to travel the 12.5 kms to the Launch Pad. Our very own Fulvio Capogna followed the Spacecraft on its slow but steady journey towards its destiny.
