VEGA FAILS ON 17TH FLIGHT

Statement by CNES President Jean-Yves Le Gall after the failure of Vega on its 17th flight: “This failure of Vega reminds us once more that we are in a tough business and that the line between success and failure is a very fine one indeed. Our teams shall now be getting straight down to work to analyse, understand and fix the causes of the failure so that we can resume flights as soon as possible.”
