Differently from Vega and Vega C Vega E will have a three stage configuration. The first two, P120 C and Zefiro 40 will be the same of Vega C. The upper stage will have a revolutionary engine which will burn liquid oxygen and methane. The rocket will be capable of releasing multiple satellites into different orbits during a single mission, maintaining the remarkable reliability and precision standards of the Vega family.
Its development goals are:
- Increased flexibility performance compatible with over 90% of payload typologies) and enhanced operational versatility (performance compatible with over 70% of payload typologies in a multiple satellites launch) on the LEO market segment;
- The use of a new generation of “green” propellants.
